1. Community Solar 
   Commonly referred to as Community Solar, Community Distributed Generation (CDG) is a renewable energy project that will typically offer guaranteed cost savings to subscribers.
2. Electric Vehicles 
   The local government along with partner organizations and volunteers initiate and develop partnerships with car dealerships, platform providers, and/or other EV industry partners to offer local residents and businesses a variety of makes and models of electric vehicles.
3. Clean Heating and Cooling and Energy Efficiency 
   The aim of Clean Heating and Cooling is to efficiently use electrical energy to replace other forms of energy, such as fossil fuels. The local government along with partner organizations and volunteers organize a structured campaign to encourage the adoption of clean heating and cooling technologies as well as energy efficiency retrofits to homes, businesses, and community institutions. The local government should also develop partnerships with NYSERDA-approved Clean Heating and Cooling Community Campaigns if they are available in the area.
4. Demand Response

   Demand response is important because the actions of individual customers can be aggregated in ways that deliver significant value to the grid. Local governments are uniquely positioned to help customers benefit directly from this opportunity. The local government should consider developing partnerships with providers of demand response products and services, like smart thermostat deployments, battery energy storage, and peak saver campaigns.
