Town of Southampton Introduces 'Solarize Southampton' Initiative

The Town of Southampton recently introduced ’Solarize Southampton,’ a community organized solar effort led by the Department of Municipal Works.

The goal of the campaign is to increase the number of solar electric systems for both residential and commercial electric customers within the Town of Southampton by working closely with the Town’s Sustainability Committee.

The campaign is part of the Community Solar New York program and is supported by a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) which will provide technical assistance, marketing materials and funding.

The Town is partnering with Southampton-based Green Logic, which was selected through a competitive bid process.

The Solarize Southampton Program will offer a tiered pricing option based on the number of customers who enroll in the program, which will run until October 16.

There will be a number of informational meetings in the future.

On Tuesday, September 8, there will be a Solar Presentation run by the North Sea Citizen Advisory Committee at the North Sea Community House on 130 Noyac Road in Southampton from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A kickoff event will take place on Wednesday, September 9, at the Tiana Beach Pavillion on 72 Dune Road in Hampton Bays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
