Enrollments are being created in the New York Home Energy Portal (NYHEP) from NYSERDA Portal applications with “Yes” selected for both Customer Address Eligible for IRA and Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) eligible. This designation is being automatically assigned by the NYSERDA Portal. Until this is resolved, Enrollments with these designations will be considered to be OTDA projects with a maximum incentive amount of $20,000.
OTDA projects are determined based on the information provided during the application process and projects cannot be switched from OTDA to IRA HEAR funding. At the work scope review stage, these projects will include the following note to the contractor:
“This is an OTDA enrollment with a Maximum Incentive of $20,000. OTDA projects are determined based on the information provided during the application process. Projects cannot be switched from OTDA to IRA.”
NYSERDA is internally tracking OTDA spending and once it is determined that sufficient enrollments are in process to fully commit the budget, future enrollments will stop getting assigned as OTDA.
