DOE has released application guidelines for Tribal governments to apply for $225 million in funding under the Inflation Reduction Act's Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate program. Funds will provide rebates to low- and moderate-income households installing efficient electric technologies.
Rebates for home electrification upgrades range from $840 to $14,000 per household. Rebate amounts vary depending on a household's income, the total project cost, and the technologies installed.
Once DOE has approved a Tribe's application, the Tribe may launch its program and begin issuing rebates. Tribal officials can review the published guidance in DOE's new Administrative and Legal Requirements Document.
DOE has also released the final funding amounts individual Tribes will receive after DOE approves their applications, as well as an explanation of how it allocated the funds.
