Summary

Cayuga County is using $135,000 in NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities grants (plus tax credits and incentives) to install solar at Emerson Park and up to six EV charging ports; contract with NextEra Energy Solutions executed Oct. 29, 2025, and construction anticipated in coming months.

Planner Emily Antonacci told the committee the county’s NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities grants total $135,000 ($10,000 and $125,000 awards combined) and will fund solar installation at the Parks Offices at Emerson Park and the procurement/installation of up to three dual‑port ChargePoint EV charging stations (six ports total). She confirmed that costs will be covered by grant funds, IRA direct pay tax credits, NYSUN/NYSERDA and utility 'make ready' incentives.

Antonnaci (sic) reported the contract with NextEra Energy Solutions, LLC d/b/a Power Management Company for the EV charging stations was executed on October 29, 2025. Planning, Purchasing and Parks staff are coordinating procurement for the solar installation, and Emily said construction on the EV charging stations is likely to begin within the next few months pending contractor and utility approvals.

The work will remove a previously included motor pool component and repurpose funds to expand EV charging and solar installations at Emerson Park under a contract modification being finalized with NYSERDA and the CNY Regional Planning & Development Board.
