Start Your Enhanced Energy Affordability Program (EEAP) Application

The New York Enhanced Energy Affordability Program (EEAP) provides monthly bill discounts for income-qualified households across New York State. Eligible customers can receive assistance based on their household size, income level, and utility provider.

This EEAP application is available to customers of Central Hudson Gas & Electric, Con Edison, National Fuel, National Grid, NYSEG, Orange & Rockland and RG&E.

To qualify, you must:

  • Have an active residential electric or natural gas account with a participating New York utility
  • Have a household income below the program maximum, which varies by location and household size (see threshold amounts)
  • Provide complete documentation of your entire household’s income for the last month

Note that you can’t be enrolled in both the Energy Affordability Program (EAP) and EEAP. If you are currently enrolled in EAP, you do not need to apply for EEAP.
