Don’t think you qualify for discounts on your energy bills? Think again.

Half of all New York households are now eligible for relief through the Energy Affordability Program.

If you pay for electricity or natural gas through one of the state’s utility companies, you may qualify for savings. The Energy Affordability Program (EAP) provides eligible customers with utility bill discounts they can count on each month.

NEW in 2026: Expanded eligibility. Millions of New Yorkers are newly eligible in 2026. Don’t leave money on the table!

When you receive relief through EAP, you’ll receive recurring discounts directly on your monthly electric or natural gas bill.
