New York Takes Lead in Home Energy Efficiency with Landmark Rebate Program New York State has surged ahead as a pioneer in promoting home energy efficiency by unveiling a groundbreaking rebate program, financed through the Inflation Reduction Act. This initiative marks a significant stride towards sustainability, offering eligible low-to-moderate income households an opportunity to receive substantial rebates of up to $14,000. These rebates are earmarked for implementing a range of energy-efficient upgrades, including air sealing, insulation, and adoption of heat pumps. By empowering homeowners to invest in these upgrades, the program aims to drive down energy consumption and, consequently, utility bills, while also curbing reliance on fossil fuels. Governor Kathy Hochul hailed this move as a triumph for accessibility and environmental stewardship, emphasizing the collaborative efforts between New York State, the Biden Administration, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The overarching goal is to democratize the clean energy transition, ensuring affordability and inclusivity for all New Yorkers. ( Source: Rewiring America)
