The Home Efficiency Rebates will provide rebates for whole-home energy saving improvements. The rebate amount will vary based on the amount of energy savings achieved and a household’s income. The rebate amount can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more per home.   

Minnesota is currently designing its program and approach. This program is intended to make homes more energy efficient by requiring upgrades to meet energy savings reductions, determined by a modeled energy savings pathway. Minnesota will explore a measured energy savings pathway as a pilot after the first year of the program. It is best to wait until program launch before proceeding with the energy audit or other aspects of your project. 

Existing single-family homes and multifamily buildings will be eligible. New construction buildings are not eligible for the HOMES rebate.
