SALEM — New permanent rules related to residential energy tax credits go into effect on Jan. 1, 2012. A copy of the rules can be found on the Oregon Department of Energy’s website at: http://www.oregon.gov/ENERGY/CONS/Rulemaking2011-RETC.shtml
The new rules are a result of House Bill 3672 (2011), which discontinues the State of Oregon tax credits for:
-
Energy-efficient appliances, and
-
Alternative fuel vehicles and vehicle conversion equipment.
Items that still qualify for a Residential Energy Tax Credit include:
-
Renewable resources (wind, solar, geothermal systems)
-
High-efficiency furnaces
-
High-efficiency (on-demand or tankless) water heaters
-
Duct sealing
-
Premium-efficiency wood and pellet stoves
-
Heat pumps

Alternative fuel vehicle infrastructure
