Village of Highland Falls Community Power offers community choice electricity supply.  

Community Choice Electricity SupplY

The Village of Highland Falls has been part of a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) with seven other local villages and towns, using our collective purchasing power to offer fixed rate renewable electricity supply as the default for eligible O&R customers in those villages and towns. At the end of September 2024, our current contract with the electricity supplier Constellation NewEnergy ended after 18 months, as expected. 

At the end of the CCA contract, participating residents were automatically returned to O&R for their electricity supply.

The following CCA notification letters were mailed to all eligible customers:

At the time the program launched, residents and small businesses (non-demand customers) that received electricity supply through the utility and did not have a block on their electricity account were notified and automatically enrolled in the program, unless they chose to opt-out before the program launched.
