Rochester for Energy Democracy (RED)
Rochester for Energy Democracy (RED) is Metro Justice’s campaign to transform Spanish-owned RG&E in Rochester or Monroe County into a not-for-profit public utility. A locally-controlled, public utility will reduce bills and invest RG&E’s ~$120 Million in yearly profits back to the region, creating more local union jobs, responsive customer service, and a renewable energy transition accessible to all.
