What we do

WHAT WE DO

PeakPower Long Island works with municipalities to develop programs that align with the Municipal Sustainability Plan. We design programs that produce tangible results. PPLI is guided by the targets set forth in the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which established the environmentally critical standard of 70% renewable electricity by 2030.

PeakPower LI assists municipal teams in developing renewable energy policies and building codes. We collaborate with municipal staff to design and execute programs that will educate, inspire, and support communities to make the transition as easy as possible. We leverage industry best practices, NYSERDA, and LIPA/PSEGLI programs to motivate constituent action and measured results.

Energy Efficiency Public Education

As a subcontractor, PPLI has branded a direct marketing campaigns that grew residential solar by more than 200% and quadrupled the number of Home Energy Audits ordered by municipal residents. The approach was so successful, the regional NYSERDA administrator replicated PPLI's outreach model countywide.

PPLI coordinated the first Ev/Hybrid Car Expo sponsored by a municipality in Suffolk County and routinely hosts a booth at community events featuring sustainability-oriented municipal programs.

Community Choice Aggregation

CCA enables municipalities to join together to aggregate the buying power of residents and dictate the terms of how they buy electricity. By pooling local demand, municipalities can negotiate more favorable terms, designate preferred generation from renewable sources, and select a default energy service company for the community.

PPLI's President introduced Community Choice Aggregation on Long Island. Southampton Town was the first to adopt the enabling legislation, followed by the Towns of Hempstead and Brookhaven. PPLI provides CCA education for municipal leaders and civic groups across Long Island.

PPLI is currently campaigning to motivate grassroots support to encourage the LIPA Board of Trustees to vote 'yes' for the CCA Tariff at the 2020 May Board Meeting.
Thank you all for your support!

Renewable Energy Policy

Benchmarking is one of NYSERDA's Clean Energy Community's high impact action items.

How would a municipality know whether its' energy efficiency and residential solar programs are making a difference?
How to know whether the rate of Load Growth indicated by the utility is accurate?

By cross-referencing with the municipality's GIS (Graphical Information System), municipalities can micro-target system constraints and help the GRID operator by focusing on programs where most needed to offset costly infrastructure upgrades.
PPLI uses actual data to educate South Fork residents concerning their growing appetite for electricity and what we can do about it.
