Join GreenHomeNYC on the evening of June 15 for a forum discussing New York State’s comprehensive new energy strategy: Reforming the Energy Vision (REV).
This forum will cover New York State’s energy production, distribution, and consumption platform from the perspective of its new policies regarding community solar development. Not only will this impact the way in which we create and move energy, but also the way in which consumers participate in the energy marketplace.
This forum will feature voices from all aspects of REV with a focus on developing solar at the community scale.
