Energy Resiliency Strategy, Planning and Project Funding

  • Rivermoor Energy partnered with Northampton’s leadership team to develop the technical, operational and financial plan to provide resilient, clean power to the City’s most critical facilities.
  • Objective: Enable Northampton’s mission-critical services to continue to operate during storm-driven outages and other disturbances to the electrical grid.
  • Northampton became the model community for Massachusetts’ $40 million state-wide Clean Energy and Resiliency Initiative.

“The City of Northampton’s departmental and operational leadership teams have enjoyed working closely with Rivermoor Energy to develop a comprehensive strategy for resiliency to storm-driven outages and other disturbances to the electrical grid. That strategy led to over $3.6 million in state funding to support the City’s most critical operations as well as our local hospital and emergency shelter.”
