The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Home energy rebates are available to Michigan residents to help make their homes, and our state, cleaner, efficient, reliable, and more affordable.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) authorized the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to carry out the Home Energy Rebates programs to help households save money on energy bills, improve energy efficiency, and reduce indoor and outdoor air pollution. The Michigan Home Energy Rebates program (MiHER) consists of two programs: the Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES, IRA Section 50121) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR, IRA Section 50122).
The Home Efficiency Rebates will provide funding to lower the upfront cost of whole-home energy efficiency upgrades in homes and apartments, aiding retrofitting and electrification efforts. The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates will provide funding to lower the cost of efficient electric technologies in single-family and multifamily homes.
Michigan received $210 million for MiHER. Of this, $105.7 million is allocated for the HOMES and $105.3 million is allocated for HEAR.
