Summary: Online EmPower+ Application Updates 
Contact with Questions: 1-866-NYSERDA 

The online version of the EmPower+ Application has been updated to capture changes implemented on the paper version of the application in February of this year. These changes went live on May 4, 2024. In addition, updates specific to the online application have been made to accommodate process changes. Applications in the system prior to May 4, 2024, that were not submitted, will need to reapply.

Below is a summary of the online application changes: 

  • Consolidated Edison (Con-ed) Account Numbers- Con-Ed has updated the format of their utility account numbers from 15 digits to 11 digits. The online application has been updated to accept both the new format and the historic format.  
  • Attestation Language- Minor changes have been made to accommodate projects with Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding. 
  • Demographics and Household Information- Historically, this was one section of the application, now there is a standalone Demographics Section and a separate Household Information Section.

In the upcoming weeks, the knowledge base will be updated with screenshots to reflect the changes to the on-line application. In the meantime, if there are questions on completing the online application, please reach out to 1-866-NYSERDA.
