Go all-electric and receive up to $15,000 with the Energy Transition Incentive
We’re offering an incentive to help eligible customers in New York switch from gas to energy-efficient electric heating, cooling, and appliances. Depending on your location and property type, the Energy Transition Incentive may provide up to $15,000 in support of the transition.
If your gas service line – which connects the gas main pipeline in your street to your individual property – is aging and will require replacement in the near future, this program gives you the option to consider an electric alternative instead of replacing your gas service line.
Program basics
The Energy Transition Incentive is available to New York customers whose gas service line has been identified as needing replacement in the near future.
Participation is completely optional and customers must meet eligibility requirements.
If you’re eligible and choose to participate, the program supports your transition to all electric energy use.
Instead of replacing the gas service line, you can:
- Receive a financial incentive to help you upgrade to all‑electric heating, cooling, and appliances
- Disconnect from gas service, which eliminates your gas bill
- Complete electrification upgrades with program support
A program implementation partner will guide you through each step—from your initial energy assessment through project completion.
Eligible customers who choose to participate may receive:
- A no-cost home energy assessment
- A financial incentive to help offset the upgrade costs, see the chart below for incentive maximums
- Professional installation of electric equipment and appliances
- Guidance and support throughout the process

Actual incentive amounts may vary based on project scope.
Enhanced incentives are available for customers located in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) as designated by the state of New York.
Customers who participate may see benefits such as:
- Avoiding gas service line replacement (which involves scheduled on-site construction and temporary gas service interruption)
- Improved comfort and energy efficiency
- Access to modern, electric technologies
- Reduced long‑term maintenance needs
No. Participation in the Energy Transition Incentive is completely optional.
If you choose not to participate, we will proceed with replacing or repairing your gas service line as needed and continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service.

Frequently asked questions
The Energy Transition Incentive can be used to replace any gas-powered equipment with electric-powered alternatives. This may include stoves/ranges, clothes dryers, heating equipment, and any other gas-powered equipment. The incentive can also be used toward measures that support electrification, including electric panel and wiring upgrades, weatherization (e.g. insulation, air sealing, etc.), and removal of old gas equipment.
For New York State guidance and a lookup resource, see NYSERDA’s Disadvantaged Communities page.
Yes, in many cases. The Energy Transition Incentive can be combined with some other clean energy incentives, including certain heat pump incentives offered by your electric utility, subject to program caps.
Possibly. The total cost of your project depends on the equipment and upgrades needed for your home or business to fully electrify. Many customers may have little to no upfront cost. The Energy Transition Incentive cannot exceed the total project cost after other incentives are applied.
Yes. To participate and receive the Energy Transition Incentive, customers must replace all existing gas equipment with electric alternatives.
No. In buildings with multiple tenants using gas service, all National Grid customers in the building must agree to participate for anyone to qualify for the Energy Transition Incentive.
- Complete and submit the online interest form.
- Our program partner will schedule a no-cost energy assessment.
- Receive your estimated incentive amount and recommended project scope.
- You decide whether to move forward.
- A qualified contractor will complete your project and install new, electric equipment/appliances.
- No upfront payment is required for new equipment or installation work. You’ll only pay the difference, if any, after your incentive is applied.
- After project completion, National Grid will disconnect your gas service.
An energy assessment is a key first step in understanding your energy use. The assessment is no cost, is conducted by an approved contractor, and typically takes two to three hours at your home or business. The assessment will determine your project scope – including which equipment can be converted from gas to electric, whether electrical upgrades are needed, and opportunities to improve energy efficiency and comfort – and your projected incentive amount. Receiving an energy assessment does not obligate you to participate in the Energy Transition Incentive.
No. We will not disconnect gas service unless you choose to participate. Participation is completely voluntary and the Energy Transition Incentive is not related to any “gas ban.”
No. While we support solar and battery storage as important clean energy technologies, the Energy Transition Incentive can only be used toward:
- electric-powered replacements for gas-powered equipment, and
- measures that support the installation and efficient operation of that electric-powered equipment.
