Today, the New York State Department of Public Service approved a pilot for the Expanded Energy Affordability Program (EEAP) broadening income eligibility so more customers can enroll to receive discounts on their energy bills. We know affordability is top of mind for many of our customers, especially as the cost of living continues to rise. That’s why we contributed to the design and actively advocated for this expansion as part of the EEAP working group. This pilot is a critical step toward reaching more of the customers who need support the most. We are committed to working with the Department of Public Service staff and our community partners to implement this pilot and raise awareness so every income-eligible customer can benefit.

We’re investing in a cleaner, stronger energy future through our 10-year, $750 million Infrastructure Investment Plan. This initiative will modernize our transmission lines, substations, and electric distribution networks to meet growing residential and commercial energy demand. These upgrades will improve service reliability, enhance resiliency during extreme weather, and support the transition to clean energy. The plan will also strengthen the grid, create local jobs, stimulate economic growth, and help ensure our customers continue to receive affordable, reliable service.
