Own Your Power
Introducing Ithaca’s Own Your Power Program
The Town of Ithaca is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of its new “Own Your Power” program, which is being operated as a component of the Town’s new and ambitious climate transition and energy equity program, Tompkins Green Energy Network or T-GEN.
What is “Own Your Power”?
“Own Your Power” is a program with the goal of empowering residents and businesses of the Town of Ithaca to own onsite and neighborhood energy systems that will allow Ithacans to both generate and consume electricity on-site, to achieve climate transition and energy equity across most of their energy uses: power, heat, transportation and waste.
Why would I join?
Ithacans who are interested in addressing the climate crisis with personal and local action should join the “Own My Power” program. You will have many opportunities to engage with and learn about the program. See below for our outreach schedule where you can learn more.
How can I join the Town’s “Own Your Power”?
The “Own My Power” program uses an “opt-in” enrollment mechanism, meaning, you have to take a special action to join. You can do this by signing up with our “Own Your Power” program administrator Local Power LLC by phone or on its T-GEN website. By signing up you will begin a process in which Local Power identifies site-specific limitations and opportunities, system design, vendors and financing options. No upfront payment is required.
