Summary: Comfort Home Migration to NYHEP
Contact with Questions: Comforthome@nyserda.ny.gov

In mid-2024, NYSERDA will be migrating Comfort Home from the current Compass workflow platform to the NY Home Energy Portal (NYHEP).  NYHEP is the workflow system used for EmPower+ and REA (the Residential Energy Assessment program).  This change will simplify the contractor experience by having one common platform across all of the NYSERDA small home residential programs.  NYSERDA has started planning for this migration in areas such as training, workflow testing, data migration, and reporting.  Additional information will be shared in the coming months.

Regarding Programs: EmPower+

Contact: Please reach out to Contractor Support at 1-800-284-9069 with any questions

EmPower+ measure pricing and Program fuel rates have been updated and are effective as of February 23, 2024.

EmPower+ pricing was reviewed and updated to reflect changes to several variables including national inflation and consumer price index (CPI) data, and market price research.  The updated list can be found in Section 5.5 of the Program Manual on the Contractor Support site.

EmPower+ Program fuel rates for 2024 have been updated and posted on the Contractor Support website in Section 5.12 of the Program Manual. The fuel rates and EmPower pricing have been updated in the NY Home Energy Portal (NYHEP) currently and will be effective for any new project entered in NYHEP beginning February 23, 2024. NYSERDA finance has also updated their Proforma tool to reflect the updated fuel pricing.

For Program fuel rates, natural gas and electricity rates are based on the Joint Utilities 2021-2023 SC1 3-year average. Delivered fuels are based upon the NYSERDA New York Home Pricing Monitoring Program 2022-2023 averages. For cost-effectiveness calculations,  NYSERDA uses volumetric charges including supply (commodity), transmission and distribution, and other charges applied based on the supply volume.
