The income limits for EmPower+ have been updated and were effective as of May 13, 2024. This round of updates only impacts the Area Median Income numbers used to determine eligibility for the EmPower+ moderate income incentive. The next round of revisions will take place in the Fall, when the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) income guidelines are updated.
These income limits are based on 2023-2024 State Median Income numbers provided by HEAP and 2024 Area Median Income numbers provided by The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The updated guidelines can be found in Section 3.4 of the Program Manual and on the EmPower+ webpage.
All websites and program materials have been updated to reflect these changes. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact 866-NYSERDA.
