Summary: EmPower+ incentives for PSEG customers
Questions: If there are any questions, please contact Contractor Support
Starting May 18, 2026, the total amount of incentives received from PSEG Home Comfort and Home Performance programs for Low- and Moderate-income customers will be deducted from the EmPower+ downstate incentive caps of $14,000 for low-income households and $7,000 for moderate income households.
When proposing a project for PSEG customers, the contractor will be required to supply the awards letter or letters for the Home Comfort and Home Performance Programs when submitting documents to NYHEP. The contractor should also include the PSEG incentive amounts in the utility section of the individual measure. NYHEP will then deduct these amounts from the possible incentive. This deduction in incentive will not affect the $14,000 IRA project cap. The contractor support site will have a copy of an April 3 webinar detailing how these incentives will be applied.
On April 21st there was a joint PSEG/NYSERDA webinar to review the new program rules and answer questions
