2019-2020 Contractor Resource Manual

This section contains information about and links to the databases and software used in the Programs.  This section will evolve over time, as NYSERDA works to more fully integrate the administration of these two programs and begin to use the common platforms.

11.1 | Project Submission/Approvals

The NY HP Portal, hosted by Energy Savvy, is a database system used by Participating Contractors for application submissions, claiming GJGNY audit reservations, work scope submissions, change order submissions, and project close out submissions. This system is used for both AHP/HPwES and EmPower New York.
