Energy Affordability Program (EAP) and Expansion

In January 2026, New York launched the Enhanced Energy Affordability Program (EEAP), a two-year pilot that expanded access to EAP by adding income-based eligibility. Existing eligibility through qualifying benefit programs remains in place. 

EEAP allows additional households to qualify for the same EAP discount based on income, without having to participate in a qualifying benefit program.

EAP provides a monthly discount on electric and gas bills for eligible households. The discount is applied directly to the household's utility bill.

Application for EAP

Households participating in a qualifying program are not always automatically enrolled in EAP and should contact their utility provider to confirm eligibility.

For households qualifying under the EEAP (income expansion) who are not in a qualifying program, an application must be completed. Below are links to the application which includes instructions.

Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or by fax.
