With exorbitant energy costs tormenting small businesses and residents across the borough this winter, the Queens Chamber of Commerce announced the launch of its “Queens in Green Initiative” Tuesday that will strive to make the borough the greenest county in the state.

This new energy partnership — featuring industry leaders in solar, electric vehicles, biofuels and more — will help the Queens Chamber members conserve energy and save money.

“The Queens Chamber of Commerce is proud to convene this group of chamber members and other industry leaders in an effort to help businesses not only save their hard-earned dollars but also make Queens the greenest county in the largest city in America,” Queens Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J. Grech said. “By bringing together chamber members Reliable Power Alternatives Co., SUNation Solar Systems, Green Energy Technology, National Grid and Con Edison, we will help our businesses become more energy-efficient, and ensure Queens is leading the way in the fight against climate change.”
