Home Energy Rebate Programs

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In September 2024, ODOE was awar​ded over $113 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for two new home energy rebate programs that will provide financial incentives to single-family and multifamily households for eligible high-efficiency home improvements, appliances, and equipment.
No rebates are currently available. ​We will set a launch date when we have approval from U.S. Department of Energy. Sign up for email updates or visit the new program website for updates.  

Programs Overview

The Home Efficiency Rebates Program (also known as HOMES) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program (also known as HEAR) will provide rebates for high-efficiency home improvements and appliance installation to eligible single-family and multifamily households, particularly low- and moderate-income households. ​

Learn more on the new program website.


Schedule

No rebates are available at this time. We will post launch information as soon as we have more information on timeline from the U.S. Department of Energy.

There are several items that influence the programs’ launch schedule:   

  • Launch approval from the U.S. Department of Energy to launch our programs, which is a requirement of the federal grant.  
  • Participation agreements for participants and contractors
  • Program portal for managing applications

The Oregon home energy rebate team anticipates the participation agreements, the program portal, and all other materials will be ready for launch within the next few months. It is our understanding that U.S. DOE has suspended their approvals of all launch requests from state home energy rebate programs as they review their agency’s overall priorities and published requirements for these programs. We don’t anticipate setting a new launch date until we have U.S. DOE's approval to launch.​​​​

Additional Backgro​und

Funding for these programs comes to Oregon thanks to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. ODOE was awarded over $113 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for two new home energy rebate programs that will provide financial incentives to single-family and multifamily households for eligible high-efficiency home improvements, appliances, and equipment. ​

Earth Advantage will deliver the programs in the 38 consumer-owned and Idaho Power Company service areas, and Energy Trust of Oregon  will deliver the programs in areas served by PGE and Pacific Power.
