We, the undersigned residents of Stony Point, request the Town to participate in a proven, innovative clean energy program called Rockland Community Power. This program would make renewable energy available to residents at a competitive, fixed rate, and allow free choice for those who want to opt out of the program.
Rockland Community Power is a proven success, delivering clean energy and cost savings currently to five Rockland communities. By the fall of 2022, the five original communities will renew, plus five more Rockland municipalities are planning to participate in this program. This represents over half of Rockland’s population. Through this large aggregate, residents and small businesses may purchase renewable electricity at a guaranteed fixed rate.
So far, through this program, residents in the currently participating communities have saved over $5.58 million. The fixed rates have protected participants from rate spikes over this last year. Over a period of twenty months, households in the program have saved over $170 in energy costs.
Why should Stony Point residents not enjoy the same benefits? Benefits which include:
+ ORU continuing as our utility and service provider
+ 100% clean energy at competitive, fixed rates
+ Strong consumer protection: no contracts, fixed rates, and no exit fees. No bait and switch.
+ More choices for consumers, anyone can opt-out of the program at any time.
Here is an easy step we can take as a community, which will have a major impact on our emissions and help ensure clean air, as well, while also helping to keep energy costs down.
So far, even after years of attempts to have the Stony Point Town Board join this program, they have refused to even schedule a public discussion. We now need to have citizens step up and insist that Stony Point join the other 10 participating Rockland County municipalities. It makes sense from an economic perspective and will help our community transition to sustainable energy. It's time for the Supervisor and Town Board to bring Stony Point into this program.

The Town Board is still avoiding a clear answer on joining Rockland Community Power. Email your representative today and demand they prioritize these savings for our residents. Post this link on your social media accounts so our neighbors know about the fixed rates we are missing.

The momentum behind this petition proves Stony Point is ready to demand lower energy bills. Post the link on your Facebook page and text three of your neighbors to keep this pressure on the town board.

Public support for the transition from fossil fuels to renewables, such as wind and solar, is growing throughout New York State. Under Supervisor George Hoehmann's leadership, The Town of Clarkstown ratepayers have collectively saved @$2 million, their portion of the $5.58 million that has been saved by all participating communities since they joined Rockland Community Power less than two year ago – all while supporting the use of renewable energy and knowing that they're joining with communities across the country to reduce their carbon footprint in the fight against climate change! Why is our Town of St0ny Point Supervisor Jim Monaghan, refusing to even listen, schedule a public discussion and consider the benefits for Stony Point residents?
This program sounds like a win for the environment and our wallets, as well as our children's futures! Let's find out more!
This would be an awesome opportunity for SP residents to save money on skyrocketing electric bills
The cost of energy is ridiculous this would help lower the costs and I support it.
Community Choice Aggregation is a program than can save energy costs for our town residents, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint for our environment. Who doesn’t want to pay less for their electric service and save money? Who doesn’t want to improve the environment by cleaning the air we breathe. Let's have Stony Point also participate in the program with the other communities.
I agree to having the Town of Stony Point join the clean energy program.
Finally we might be getting somewhere

Stony Point should at least learn about this option and discuss it. Neighboring towns have adopted it. As long as it contains an opt out option it cannot be financially harmful.
