The Otsego County Energy Task Force initiative was formed to work on:
• developing goals and objectives to guide economic development and business growth and retention with respect to energy sources, energy needs, uses and efficiencies.
• working out how these efforts may be implemented and how Otsego County can meet the New York State Clean Energy Standards while growing our economy.
• recognizing that county businesses and residents will need significant education and financial incentives on changing processes and technologies that now can save them money while helping our communities meet the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals.
• better educating businesses on the new technologies available to help meet important conservation and efficiency goals. We already have recent success stories where making these connections have brought results.
