Energy Affordability Program (EAP)
You may qualify for a bill discount if you’re enrolled in an eligible government assistance program.
Statewide Solar for All/REACH
Statewide Solar for All (S-SFA) and Renewable Energy Access and Community Help (REACH) are New York State utility bill assistance programs. To participate, customers must satisfy two requirements.
You must be:
- Enrolled in the Energy Affordability Program (EAP)
- Living in a disadvantaged community (DAC)
All customers who meet both requirements will be auto-enrolled in the programs. There are no additional fees, monthly sign-up, equipment installation, or maintenance required to receive S-SFA/REACH bill credits—and we will continue as your electricity provider.
If you live in a disadvantaged community and are not currently receiving an EAP discount on your bill, please review the program’s enrollment criteria. If you believe you qualify for the EAP, sign up online or use one of the other methods to apply today.
You may cancel your S-SFA or REACH participation at any time with no penalty by contacting us. Questions? Read answers to some Frequently Asked Questions to learn more.
Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
HEAP helps income-eligible New Yorkers heat and cool their homes. If you are eligible, you may receive one regular HEAP benefit per program year and could also be eligible for emergency benefits if you are in danger of running out of fuel or having your energy service shut off.
Once a HEAP grant is applied, you will be automatically enrolled in the Energy Affordability Program for 18 months.
