Rewiring America on Need for Funding for Empower +

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has proposed a significant reduction in funding for the Empower+ program, which aims to assist low- and moderate-income households with energy efficiency upgrades. The proposed budget cut from $220 million to $80 million in 2027 has raised concerns among advocates and lawmakers, especially as the program has been a key tool in helping families manage their energy needs. Michael Hernandez of Rewiring America talks about the program with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
