Southampton, N.Y. – December 7, 2006 – Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) Chairman Richard M.

“We’re seeking to provide an equitable way of lowering the financial burden carried by those municipalities that participate in the Green Choice program on a long-term contractual basis with Energy Supply Companies (ESCOs) while helping to stimulate the development of renewable energy technologies that will lessen Long Island’s and New York state’s dependence on fossil fuel-generated electricity,” said LIPA Chairman Richard M. Kessel.

“The Town of Southampton has long supported renewable energy programs and I commend Mr. Kessel for moving ahead with this newest incentive initiative,” said Southampton Town Supervisor Patrick Heaney.

“The more financially attractive LIPA makes its Green Choice Program, the more relevant reusable energy will be in Long Island’s future. This is a step forward,” said Supervisor William McGintee
