O&R Utilities program energizes hundreds of EV chargers at condo complex

Through Orange and Rockland Utilities (O&R) PowerReady incentive program, the Harbors at Haverstraw condo complex has energized hundreds of Level 2 electric vehicle chargers across a dozen buildings in Rockland County.

The $2 million project, done in partnership with INF Associates, is the largest EV charging project in O&R’s service territory.

The incentives in O&R’s PowerReady program covered over 85 percent of the costs associated with upgrading Harbors at Haverstraw’s electric infrastructure to make the site suitable for hundreds of Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations. Level 2 chargers can fully charge a battery overnight.

“Through our PowerReady incentive program, we’re supporting the buildout of a widespread network to bring electric vehicle charging to all drivers in our region,” Andrew Farrell, director, E-Mobility, O&R, said. “We are proud to support the largest electric vehicle charging site in our service territory as we work with our community partners to transition away from fossil fuels and towards a cleaner energy future.”

Overall, the program will help make the transition to electric vehicles more affordable for both station operators and drivers.

“We are thrilled to have partnered with Harbors at Haverstraw, O&R and FirstService Residential on this groundbreaking EV charging project,” Charles dePuthod, president, INF Associates, said. “This initiative not only supports the transition to sustainable transportation but also underscores our commitment to providing innovative and reliable EV charging solutions. By increasing the availability of charging stations, this project will encourage more people to adopt electric vehicles, contributing to New York State’s ambitious climate goals. INF is proud to be a developer supporting the electrification across the state, and this project represents a significant step towards a cleaner environment and a sustainable future.”

Orange and Rockland Utilities is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison. It provides electric service to approximately 300,000 customers in southeastern New York State and northern New Jersey, and natural gas service to approximately 140,000 customers in New York.

INF Associates provides turnkey services, including engineering, incentive management, material procurement, energy management, and maintenance, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in buildings and transportation through innovative energy solutions.
