Aid might cut $135 from that sky-high Con Ed bill, but few people are applying

Only 775 of the nearly 600,000 potentially eligible Con Edison customers have enrolled for the state's expanded energy assistance program since it opened last month, the company said. The Energy Affordability Program helps eligible New Yorkers struggling to afford their utility bills by providing monthly discounts. Discount levels vary by household size and income. In New York City, someone who uses gas heat and whose income is less than 60% of the area median income - $68,050 for a single person and $97,200 for a household of four - would see discounts of more than $135 per month.
