The income limits for EmPower+ have been updated and will be effective as of July 1, 2025. This round of updates only impacts the Area Median Income numbers used to determine eligibility for the EmPower+ moderate income incentive. The next round of revisions will take place in the Fall when the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) income guidelines are updated.

These income limits are based on 2024-2025 State Median Income numbers provided by HEAP and 2025 Area Median Income numbers provided by The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The updated guidelines can be found in Section 3.4 of the Program Manual.

NYSERDA is in the process of updating its website and anticipate these changes to be posted in mid-July. If you have any questions, please contact 1-866-NYSERDA.
