Rewiring America has this calculator explaining which incentives (mostly state) remain.
​
Home Energy Solutions (HES) visit is usually $75, but that co-pay is being waived if you sign up by March 31st and have it completed by April 30th. This is a fast, cheap way to reduce energy bills. Programs are here for UI customers, and here for Eversource. Both sites have links to additional energy efficiency incentives, as well as programs for low income and multi-family 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 until 12/31/27. Find Solar vendors at CTEnergyNetwork.org. 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). Rebates for purchasing residential energy storage can be found at Energy Storage Solutions, which has further incentives for allowing them to draw from your batteries during certain high demand periods. Eversource, and UI, also have energy storage programs for commercial users.
​
Electric Vehicle Incentives. The EV Club of CT continues to track incentives for EVs and EV Chargers. State EV purchasing incentives remain, but are decreasing. Eversource and United Illuminating offer incentives to offset the equipment and installation costs of an EV charger and to compensate you for charging outside of high demand periods.
​
Smart-E Loans for Energy Upgrades. CTGreenBank loans are available for over 90 upgrades for a wide variety of Heating & Cooling, healthy home, and clean energy issues.
​
Rebates for Energy Upgrades. Commercial, Residential, and Multifamily buildings can receive rebates for some energy upgrades at EnergizeCT.com. An HES (above) visit may be required.
​
Energy Assistance Programs. To assist households in need, one-on-one guidance is available at Home Energy ConneCT.
​
CPACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy). CPACE is a financing mechanism for energy efficiency, renewable energy, or other related projects. Repayments are made via an assessment on the property tax bill.
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.
