How Does the Program Work?
emPOWER matches household needs with local and statewide resources to help residents maximize potential savings and use of available incentive programs by:
-
Ensuring that low-income households are taking advantage of all available financial aid options.
-
Promoting low- or no-cost energy efficiency programs, solar panel installations, home improvements and appliance rebates to meet basic energy needs and save even more on energy bills.
-
Consulting with residents to determine the feasibility of clean vehicle or transit and shared mobility vouchers with trade-ins of older high-polluting vehicles.
