The discount amount will be calculated each month and will vary based on how many people participate, the amount of electricity used by each participant and available funds from the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) Recharge NY program.

The discount amount is then multiplied by your monthly billed kilowatt-hours and your discount will appear as a credit in a separate line item, “Res agricultural discount,” under the “Electricity Delivery Charges” noted on page 3 of your NYSEG bill. The credit will not exceed the net total monthly electricity delivery charges.

The program will be administered on an annual basis, September 1 through August 31, with the monthly discount provided until funding is no longer available through NYPA. It’s necessary to reapply by July 1 each year to confirm continued eligibility.
