We are excited to introduce you to MyEnergy, a platform designed to enhance residential customer engagement with home and building clean energy improvements. The initial rollout of MyEnergy will support New York households by enabling residents to find clean energy home improvement incentives and connect with a participating contractor. Over the coming year, we will be enhancing MyEnergy with new features and resources to better connect residents and contractors to a broader range of clean energy programs.
With a MyEnergy account, residents can initially
- Submit an EmPower+ and/or Appliance Upgrade Program application
- Search for a participating contractor or retailer
- Find a Clean Energy Regional Hub
- View NYSERDA residential rebate and incentive options
- Get help with the EmPower+ and/or Appliance Upgrade Program application process
Effective October 25, 2024, participating contractors can begin using MyEnergy to complete the following actions:
- Submit an EmPower+ and Appliance Upgrade Program application on behalf of a resident
- Access submitted EmPower+ and Appliance Upgrade Program applications and projects to provide status updates
- Determine a resident’s eligibility for EmPower+ and Appliance Upgrade Program
- Submit Appliance Upgrade Program sales documentation
- Get support by submitting questions regarding NYSERDA programs, applications, or support with the MyEnergy portal
Upcoming Training Opportunities: Training opportunities will be offered in October to ensure you can make the most of the MyEnergy platform. Stay tuned for upcoming communications with details on how to register.
Important Considerations:
- Comfort Home Applications: Applications for the Comfort Home Program will be available on MyEnergy in 2025. In the meantime, residents eligible for the Comfort Home program will be guided to NYSERDA’s Find a Contractor page. From there, they can connect with a certified contractor who will assist in conducting an assessment and identifying potential energy-saving projects.
- Multifamily Residential Program: Applications for the Multifamily Residential Program will be available on MyEnergy in 2025. A separate communication will be distributed for this effort.
