Connecticut’s energy programs are fairly stable, but it’s a good idea to consult a tax professional where federal programs are involved.
A Home Energy Solutions (HES) visit is currently $40. It’s the fastest, cheapest way to reduce your energy bill. Eversource’s HES is here, United Illuminating’s (Avangrid) is here. Both sites have links to additional energy efficiency incentives, as well as programs for low-income & multifamily households.
Solar. While the 30% Fed Tax Credit to purchase solar is gone for homeowners, leases or power purchase agreements will allow licensed solar vendors to factor in this credit to systems energized by 12/31/27. Find and deal directly with CT Solar vendors here. Read up on the Pros and Cons of Purchasing, Leasing, & PPAs for Solar. Please research carefully! Even without the credit, purchased solar remains one of the cheapest long term forms of energy.
Home Energy Storage (Batteries). Available for homes and businesses, stand alone or (best!) paired with solar. Payments have dramatically increased for allowing your batteries to dispatch energy to the grid during high demand periods. Many solar vendors install batteries, and can walk you through installation, costs, and compensation scenarios.
Financing & Technical Assistance from the CT Green Bank! Need help getting started, or access to finance to make it happen? The Solutions & Offerings tabs at CTGreenBank.com have answers to these questions and more, covering Residential, Municipal, and Commercial clean energy plans... School Bus electrification, Energy Storage, Solar for single & multifamily units, heat pumps... it’s all there.
Electric Vehicle Incentives. The EV Club of CT has the latest incentive news for EVs and EV Chargers. EVs are essentially mini power plants on wheels, and the potential is there for much needed assistance to our power grid. Some state EV purchasing incentives remain at the CHEAPR site (tied to income). Eversource and United Illuminating offer income tied incentives to offset the equipment and installation costs of an EV charger. Compensation through both utilities is available to you for charging outside of high demand periods.
Whole-Home 1 on 1 Energy Counseling. The choices can can be hard to navigate. Contact Home Energy ConneCT to co-create custom energy upgrade plans at
CPACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy). CPACE is a financing mechanism for energy efficiency, renewable energy, or other related projects. No up front costs to businesses. Repayments are made monthly to the financing institution. This can handle larger projects needing longer payback times.
Though some local Energy Task Forces existed before 2005, that's the year that the 20% by 2010 Clean Energy Campaign got started. In ten CT municipalities, local leaders began conducting neighbor to neighbor energy efficiency & clean energy campaigns, and the applause soon followed! Other towns jumped on board.
We are an ALL VOLUNTEER Network!
Not only has our collective success at the local level boosted statewide programs, we can lay claim to helping our neighbors slash their energy bills while reducing harmful emissions.
