Heat Smart Southern Tier
HeatSmart Southern Tier is a NYSERDA-funded community outreach program by NeST that provides information and education on how clean energy technologies work, what incentives and financing are available, and connects clients to local heating and cooling and energy efficiency contractors.
Community Solar
NEST is currently working in collaboration with Citizen’s Energy to develop a local community solar project. Community solar allows you to subscribe to clean energy without installation! The project will help NYSEG customers with low income save 20% on their energy bill.
A Positive News Channel
A positive news channel is a platform dedicated to highlighting the uplifting, inspiring, and joyful moments within our community. Historically, news has been surrounded by negativity and fails to showcase the amazing things that happen in society. We as APNC aim to spread positivity and build a strong community through videos shared by members of our community.
Earth Fest
Earth Fest is an annual event dedicated to combating climate anxiety by increasing public education and awareness of environmental concerns and the programs, products, and technology available to green the Tier and the planet. Since 1993, the festival has drawn thousands of visitors, offering a vibrant space where local businesses, environmental organizations, government agencies, and community members come together to showcase sustainable practices and green technologies.

- energy education for community leadership development
