Affordable New Homes

What is it?

The Affordable New Homes program is designed to reimburse builders for the costs involved in achieving an energy efficient construction. Builders developing new low-income residential housing may meet the program's efficiency standards by either:

• Installing a prescribed set of energy efficiency measures, or
• Demonstrating that the home conforms to the program's specified energy-consumption standards

KCP&L provides incentives to builders of up to $1500 for homes that meet the program's prescriptive requirements, or that demonstrate they meet the program's performance requirements through a Home Energy Rating.
