Scaling Clean Energy & Resiliency in Communities
About the Buffalo Community-Based Accelerator:
The Buffalo Community-Based Accelerator (or Buffalo Accelerator) is a new initiative, led by IPC and funded by the Leon Lowenstein Foundation, to support implementation of clean energy and resiliency in Buffalo’s community and multifamily buildings. The program is based on proven models in Connecticut and New York City, enabling local communities to build on our teams’ years of deep experience. Working hand-in-hand with local partners, the Buffalo Accelerator will be an integrated approach to drive greater adoption of energy efficiency and clean energy in underserved communities in Buffalo, New York.
