Assisting Municipalities at No Cost
ANCA’s Energy Circuit Riders help municipalities plan, finance and implement energy-saving upgrades to buildings and infrastructure as well as projects that focus on renewable energy technologies. Working side-by-side with municipal officials, they provide capacity and expertise to support informed decision-making.

- Creating economies of scale through project aggregation and partnerships
- Supporting cost:benefit decisions with appropriate information and methods
- Providing guidance for project permitting and property assessment
