What Con Edison's program rules say
AMEEP serves affordable housing — projects where at least 25% of units are, or are expected to be, occupied by households earning no more than 80% of area or State median income.

Under the 2026 program manual, AMEEP (affordable) project incentives are capped at 85% of project cost and market-rate projects at 70%, so the owner always carries a share.

Con Edison lists Bellerose, Briarwood, Brookville, Cambria Heights, Floral Park, Hollis, Jamaica, Jamaica Estates, Laurelton, Queens Village, Rosedale, South Jamaica, St. Albans and the JFK area — but eligibility depends on whether the property is served by the qualifying electric network.

Residential buildings with five or more units. Buildings with fewer units, or single storefronts, generally go through other programs.
How do I know if my building qualifies as affordable (AMEEP)?
Under the program manual, a project counts as affordable housing when at least 25% of units are, or are expected to be, occupied by households earning no more than 80% of area or State median income. There are two ways to document that; we help you pull the paperwork together.
