Federal financial assistance

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has approved several new tax credits and rebates to help residents with home weatherization, energy efficiency upgrades, rooftop solar installations, and even the purchase of electric vehicles.

Rebates

The Home Energy Rebates program will help households save money on energy bills, improve energy efficiency, and reduce indoor and outdoor air pollution.

The Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) will consist of two programs: the Home Efficiency Rebates (IRA Section 50121) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (IRA Section 50122).

The U.S. Department of Energy will grant EGLE with just over $105 million for each program, totaling $211 million in rebates for EGLE to distribute to single family and multi-family households in Michigan. See EGLE's MiHER for Residents web page for updates and more information.
Tax Credits

The IRA tax credits can be seized according to the guidance on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Inflation Reduction Act webpage.
