Non-Pipeline Alternative Program for NY Residential Customers
Introducing a program that can offer $10,000 or more to help you convert to cleaner heating and cooling options.
What is a Non-Pipeline Alternative (NPA)?
National Grid is exploring Non-Pipeline Alternatives (NPA) - alternative options to constructing or upgrading components of a natural gas system. One NPA program allows us to shift money that would be used for gas infrastructure expenses and instead, give it directly to customers as an incentive to support electric conversion. These funds can be used to help customers switch from gas to electric heating systems and appliances.
How does the incentive work?
For many, this NPA Program incentive could be enough to fully cover the cost of a new heating system and replacement appliances. It is not uncommon for customers to receive $10,000 - $20,000 or more. Customers can take advantage of incentives offered by the state as well as any eligible tax credits in addition to this National Grid NPA program incentive.
To access these incentives, all eligible customers on a street segment must participate in order for National Grid to reallocate gas infrastructure expenses directly to customers.
Why switch from gas to electric?
Switching to a clean, efficient heat pump system can bring immediate benefits to your home. Experience the all-in-one comfort and energy savings of high-efficiency electric heat pump technology that keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
