If you pay for electricity or natural gas through one of the state's utility companies, you may qualify for savings! Half of all New York households are now eligible for relief through the Energy Affordability Program (EAP), which provides customers with utility bill discounts they can count on each month.

Don’t leave money on the table – you could receive recurring discounts directly on your monthly bill.
