Summary: Webinar: Overview on the upcoming Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offering

Join the Single Family Residential Team on the May 3, 2024, Contractor Webinar, where Program will be providing an overview on the upcoming Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offering. It is expected that the funding through the IRA Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program will be available in late May; however, these dates are tentative. 

 During the webinar, Program will be covering the following topics: 

  • General IRA overview/estimated funding

There are important EmPower+ Program changes related to IRA funding so it is essential to attend the webinar to hear about these Program updates and the IRA changes. During May, NYSERDA will be updating Program Materials, webpages, marketing materials and the NY Home Energy Portal (NYHEP) in preparation of the IRA funding. NYHEP training, office hours, and other important deadlines will be announced soon. We look forward to seeing you on May 3.
