Community Resource
About this resource
This initiative provides financial assistance to low-income households in New York, making their electric and/or natural gas utility bills more manageable through monthly discounts.
Enrollment Process: Households may be automatically enrolled if they participate in a government assistance program. All major electric and natural gas utilities extend the EAP discount to those receiving a Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) benefit, irrespective of the type of fuel or benefit. To check if your account is enrolled, reach out to your utility provider. Customers can obtain information about the EAP program via phone, fax, mail, website, or email. The utility provider will provide details on eligibility, monthly benefit amounts, and any necessary application procedures.
Cost: No fees.
Who can use this
- Households in New York that have income levels at or below the Federal Poverty Level, including recipients of various public assistance programs such as HEAP, SNAP, Medicaid, and others, qualify for the program. Additionally, specific programs for New York Tribal Lands are also considered.
