Adirondack Climate & Energy Action Plan (ADKCAP)

The resource for people living in and around the Adirondacks, who want to cut energy costs and emissions & build a more resilient local economy

We believe we can cut our energy costs and build a more vibrant economy by moving to more secure, low carbon sources of energy. Our goal is to create in the Adirondack region of upstate New York a model for how rural places can get to net zero carbon economies, and to do it from the ground up.

Every year more than $1.5 billion is spent on energy in the Adirondacks. That's a bigger sum than the total money that comes into our biggest industry, tourism. Almost every cent goes somewhere else, and fast. ADKCAP is working to help the economy of the Adirondacks by finding the best ways to decrease waste in energy, decrease our use of carbon fuels, and invest the money we save in the long-term economic health of our region.
