The State Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program provides grants to third-party administrators to provide rebates and incentives to households and small businesses to purchase and install high-efficiency electric equipment and appliances.
New funding is coming soon! Commerce anticipates opening applications for new funding to third-party administrators in fall 2025. Programs funded by 2023-2025 funding are still open, and rebates are available.
