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.

EGLE home energy rebates applications are targeted to open in the Fall of 2024. EGLE hosted in-person and virtual engagements sessions across Michigan to prepare for federal home energy rebate funding in March and April. EGLE continues to seek stakeholder input on both the design and implementation of the rebate programs. EGLE is seeking to diversify input, to discuss localized context, and to accommodate those that could not make regional in-person meetings by hosting virtual sessions and accepting online feedback.
Stakeholders can provide input by taking this short survey and submitting comments or suggestions to EGLE-MMD-HER@Michigan.gov.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) authorized the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to carry out the Home Energy Rebate Programs to help households save money on energy bills, improve energy efficiency, and reduce indoor and outdoor air pollution. The Home Energy Rebate Programs consists of two programs: the Home Efficiency Rebates (IRA Section 50121) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (IRA Section 50122).
The Home Efficiency Rebates will provide funding to lower the upfront cost of whole-home energy efficiency upgrades in single-family and multi-family homes aiding retrofitting and electrification efforts. The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates will help finance the upfront cost of efficient electric technologies in single-family and multi-family homes.
Collectively, the Home Energy Rebate Programs have $8.8 billion in funds for the benefit of U.S. households, to be distributed to households by State Energy Offices and Indian Tribes. Michigan’s Home Energy Rebate Programs will be administered by EGLE’s Energy Services Unit.
Applications opened for program administrators (e.g., States and Indian Tribes) on July 27, 2023 and close January 31, 2025. Below is the current estimated timeline for the rollout of Michigan's Home Energy Rebate Programs.
