Navigating the Inflation Reduction Act

What energy efficiency businesses need to know.

BPA’s latest achievement is helping to secure billions of dollars in rebates and incentives for home energy efficiency and electrification, plus hundreds of millions of dollars to train workers for the jobs that funding will create by helping shape the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

The DOE released the Program Requirements and Application Instructions that includes a wealth of critical information detailing how states will be required to operate their individual HOMES and HEAR (formerly HEEHR) programs.

In addition, DOE released several companion resources:

DOE Releases Guidance to State Energy Offices

Guidance from DOE will provide more detail on how State Energy Offices (SEOs) can apply for funding and what rebate and training programs should look like.

Find your state allocations below. 

State Energy Offices Apply for DOE Funding

State Energy Offices submit applications for funding to DOE, relying on agency guidelines.

State Energy Offices Receive Funds and Set Up Programs

Funding for rebate programs is distributed to SEOs via formula, weighted by population and state energy consumption.

SEOs set up their state rebate programs.

Program Funds Flow to Consumers and Contractors

Rebates drive consumer demand for residential energy efficiency and electrification. Consumer interest drives demand for home performance contractors and electrification.
