Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center 

Opened in September 2020, the Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center serves a unique role in engaging the public around one of LIPA’s most important priorities – transitioning to a clean, low-carbon energy future for Long Island and the Rockaways.

This state-of-the-art facility, located on the beachfront of one of Long Island’s iconic barrier islands, the 12,000 square-foot complex is a net-zero energy building. Through a variety of hands-on and accessible indoor and outdoor exhibits, educational programming, and public events, the center showcases ways to be a conscientious steward of our environment and a smart energy consumer — creating a more resilient and sustainable future.

The facility is made possible through a partnership between LIPA; New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; and a consortium of public and private partners. As a primary sponsor, LIPA operates half the center alongside New York State Parks.
