Energy Rebates
Inflation Reduction Act - Energy Rebates Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a federal law established in 2022, allocates $391 billion dollars for energy and climate change actions nationwide. Under this law, Illinois EPA Office of Energy will administer two US Dept. of Energy (USDOE) programs: the Home Energy Performance-Based, Whole House Rebates or Home Efficiency Rebates (Section 50121) and the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program or Home Electrification Rebates (Section 50122).
Please visit the following resources prepared by the federal government to learn more about these programs and other provisions of the IRA including tax incentives.
Additional details specific to Illinois EPA's administration of the two residential rebate programs will be posted on this webpage as they become available.
