Leading the way to an affordable and energy-efficient future.

Rochester District Heating Cooperative - or RDH - is the only customer-owned, nonprofit thermal energy cooperative in New York State, and provides reliable, cost-effective thermal energy to dozens of buildings in downtown Rochester, NY totaling more than 8.5 million square feet.

District energy systems employ technologies and equipment that are substantially more efficient than installing conventional boilers and heating plants within a building.

Our mission is to guide this unique community asset through the 21^st century by upgrading the current infrastructure, investing in new technologies, and growing customer connections.
