NOCO Announced as Exclusive Energy Partner of the Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York
BUFFALO, N.Y. — NOCO, Western New York’s most trusted and established energy companies, today announced a formal partnership with the Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York, designating NOCO as the organization’s exclusive Energy Partner. This strategic alliance represents a meaningful commitment by both organizations to advance the economic well-being, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship of the Hispanic community throughout the Western New York region.
Under the terms of the partnership, NOCO will work directly with the Hispanic Heritage Council and its full audience and community base to assess current energy consumption, identify opportunities for cost savings, and implement tailored solutions designed to reduce expenditures and improve efficiency. The collaboration extends beyond the Council’s own facilities and operations to encompass the businesses, nonprofits, and households that comprise its community — delivering the full breadth of NOCO’s energy expertise to an entire community.
“Western New York’s Hispanic community represents an extraordinary concentration of entrepreneurial energy, civic dedication, and cultural vitality. At NOCO, we take our responsibility to this community seriously — not merely as a sponsor, but as a partner committed to delivering measurable results. Through this partnership, we will bring our full capabilities to bear in helping the community of the Hispanic Heritage Council operate more efficiently, spend less on energy, and build a more sustainable future. We are deeply proud to stand with the Council in this effort.”
— Michael Casciano, President, NOCO
The Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York has served the region for decades as a leading advocate for the Hispanic community, fostering cultural preservation, educational advancement, workforce development, and civic engagement. With a active community that spans a wide range of community organizations, small businesses, and individuals, the Council is uniquely positioned to channel the benefits of this partnership throughout the broader Hispanic community in Erie and Niagara counties.
NOCO will conduct individualized energy assessments for the Council community, offering customized recommendations and access to NOCO’s full portfolio of energy products and services. Community members will benefit from preferred pricing structures, dedicated account support, and ongoing consultation as energy needs evolve. The partnership is designed to be sustained and iterative — deepening over time as NOCO and the Council collaborate on new initiatives in response to emerging opportunities and community needs.
“The Hispanic Heritage Council has always believed that economic empowerment and cultural pride go hand in hand. This partnership with NOCO is a testament to that belief. By providing our audience and community — our businesses, our families, our organizations — with the tools to reduce energy costs and embrace cleaner practices, NOCO is making a direct investment in the long-term strength and sustainability of our community. This is the kind of partnership that creates lasting change, and we are honored to formalize it today.”
— Casimiro D. Rodriguez Sr., President, Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York
NOCO and the Hispanic Heritage Council will jointly announce a series of engagement programs, energy audit initiatives, and sustainability workshops in the coming weeks.
