NYSERDA is pleased to announce an enhancement to Participation Agreements for the EmPower NY, Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®, Residential Energy Audit Program, Comfort Home, and Green Jobs – Green NY Residential Financing Programs.
There is now one Participation Agreement that is applicable to all of NYSERDA’s residential energy efficiency programs. This means one document with the terms and conditions each company is bound to for participation. Specific rules, processes and policies for each distinct program are available in each Program Manual, which continue to be separate documents.
Contractors participating in multiple programs no longer need to sign and maintain separate Participation Agreements with NYSERDA.
The current Participation Agreement for the EmPower NY, Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® and Comfort Home Programs expires on September 30, 2022
The new Participation Agreement and Contractor Application is available now and must be submitted by September 30, 2022, to ensure seamless participation in NYSERDA’s programs.
- When re-applying to these programs, make sure to select that you are a “New Applicant” on the Contractor Application
- Please select all programs you are applying for – regardless of your existing participation status
EmPower NY and Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® contractors, the Program Manual is in the process of being finalized and will be available for contractors to access during the week of September 5, 2022.
Please note, this change is not applicable for EmPower NY Appliance Vendors. The existing process remains in place for Appliance Vendors and an updated Participation Agreement will be available in early September.
This change also opens up enrollment eligibility for Comfort Home to all contractors. If you wish to enroll in Comfort Home, review the Comfort Home Pilot Manual and make sure to select that when you submit your new application.
