WESTCHESTER POWER COMMUNITY ENERGY PROGRAM - INFORMATION ABOUT NEXT TERM STARTING DECEMBER 1, 2025
Information for eligible residents and small businesses in the Towns of Bedford, North Salem, Pound Ridge about the next term starting December 1.
Westchester Power is a Community Choice Aggregation program administered by local non-profit Sustainable Westchester on behalf of participating communities. Westchester Power is the municipally selected default electricity supply option for these communities. It offers competitive, fixed rates for clean and renewable electricity as an alternative to variably-priced and fossil-fuel-based supply of the local utility.
Westchester Power is an "opt-out" program, meaning eligible participants must elect to opt out of enrollment into the program if they do not want to participate. Customers always retain the ability to select between our offered renewable energy choices, opt out, or opt back in at any point without fees or penalties.
To ensure the availability of a reliable fixed rate option for clean energy in these uncertain times, program electric supply for the next term has been bid out and awarded. Opt out letters will be mailed out in October.
Opt out periods for the municipalities are as follows:
North Salem and Pound Ridge: 10/25/2025 - 11/24/2025
Bedford: 10/24/2025 - 11/23/2025
