Mid-Hudson Energy Transition (MHET) empowers communities to own and share renewable energy, create healthier buildings, and join in community wealth-building to strengthen the resilience of the Hudson Valley in the face of climate change.
We accomplish our mission through the active involvement of communities and their elected and grassroots leaders, with particular emphasis on historically marginalized and disadvantaged communities.
We organize community capacity to develop innovative, local renewable energy and efficiency projects that enable voluntary investment by residents, businesses, the municipal government, and/or local institutions to create community equity and energy security.
We generate financing for homeowners, landlords, renters, and small businesses to retrofit their buildings, making them more comfortable, healthier, and less costly to operate.
We align our work with New York State’s climate goals set forth in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in order to support municipalities in meeting statewide climate and equity goals, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
