    Advisory Group

    The Minnesota Home Energy Rebates (HER) Advisory Group was established by the Minnesota Department of Commerce Program Design Team to help inform the design of Minnesota's HER program. There were six (6) Advisory Group meetings held between June 2024 and January 2025. These meetings were open to all interested parties and provided valuable insights, recommendations, and guidance that have contributed to informed decision-making and positive outcomes in the design of the Minnesota HER program. 

    Recordings of all meetings and meeting notes can be found on the Advisory Group website.    

    In-person public forums

    To provide opportunities for the public and interested stakeholders to inform the design of Minnesota’s Home Energy Rebate (HER) programs, Minnesota Department of Commerce hosted six public forums throughout Minnesota in the summer of 2024. These forums gathered local perspectives, insights, and priorities from those who will benefit from the program, ensuring inclusivity and reaching populations often underrepresented in decision-making processes.
