NV Energy is encouraging eligible low-income customers to apply for the company’s Expanded Solar Access Program (called ESAP) beginning Sept. 1. The program allows customers to tap into solar energy at no added cost, with no solar panels required.

Low-income eligible customers who participate in this program are guaranteed a lower rate for energy than the standard rate. To be eligible to participate low-income customers must show proof of income and may not have an income of more than 80% of the Area Median Income based on guidelines published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. More information on qualifications is available at nvenergy.com/esap.

Applications for the program will be available online at nvenergy.com/esap on Sept. 1 and will be open until Oct. 31. Recent changes in the program now allow low-income customers participating in the program to continue participating in future years without having to provide proof of eligibility every year. Currently participating customers will be automatically re-enrolled for the next program year, eliminating the annual recertification burden.
