NYS Energy Research & Development Agency Grants

Project 1: Energy Efficient Street Lighting permitted the Town to extend it project to replace its high wattage, energy inefficient High Pressure Sodium streetlights with high efficiency Induction lamps.  Total bulbs replaced under this grant project: 1,846.

Projects 2/3: Installation Solar Photo-Voltaic Panels/
Installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station

Huntington used NYSERDA grant funds to install an array of 12 KW solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Town's South Parking Garage at LIRR station. The solar power in turn provides energy for the charging stations, which are capable of charging five (5) electric vehicles simultaneously. The facility on Fairground Avenue is the first of its kind in the state that offers free charging for plug-in hybrid cars with power from the sum. The result is that Huntington commuters can make their daily trip to the station with net-zero greenhouse gas emission and no Carbon Footprint whatsoever!
