On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, marking the most significant action Congress has taken on clean energy and climate change in the nation’s history. With the stroke of his pen, the President redefined American leadership in confronting the existential threat of the climate crisis and set forth a new era of American innovation and ingenuity to lower consumer costs and drive the global clean energy economy forward.
As part of the continued efforts to inform the people of New York’s 9th Congressional District on the benefits provided by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Office of Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke is proud to invite you to our upcoming virtual event, Accessing the Benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act; Part 2.

This event will focus on the impact of H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act, on the 9th Congressional District, with a focus on the EmPower+ program. EmPower+ helps low- and moderate-income households save energy and money toward energy improvements made to their primary residence.
Through EmPower+, eligible New Yorkers can receive:
- No-cost comprehensive home energy assessments to pinpoint where energy and dollars are being wasted and receive a customized plan to lower energy usage.
- No-cost direct install improvements identified during the assessment can be installed by participating program contractors.
- Funding toward the cost of energy efficiency improvements, including air sealing, insulation, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and electrical service and wiring upgrades.
The program is open to income-eligible owners and renters of one- to four-family households. For assistance in applying and navigating home energy upgrades, connect with your Regional Clean Energy Hub.
During the event, we will provide an overview of how the IRA affects you, discuss the legislation on a strategic level, and introduce a benefit savings calculator to provide an estimate on potential savings from programs facilitated under the Inflation Reduction Act.
