CCA Update
Nelsonville is participating in the launch of the Hudson Valley Community Power program, which will provide an additional choice in electricity supply sourcing. You should have received a letter in the mail outlining our selected default electricity supply option and your choices. Please consider your options.
Our selected default choice will be set for a 2-year fixed term at 50% NYS based renewable and 50% non-NYS based renewable energy sourcing. This means it is still 100% renewable, but only 50% is sourced from NYS based supply.
