Nevada is gearing up to launch Home Energy Rebate programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The efficiency and electrification rebate programs, known as HOMES and HEAR, will be administered by a team of equity-focused clean energy partners, including Everblue, APTIM, and VEIC. The team was awarded a $96 million contract by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Energy to deliver energy-saving rebates to low- and middle-income households across the state. VEIC will provide program planning and design, state application development services, and strategic market transformation plans.

In a press release announcing the partnership and contract, VEIC Managing Director Nikki Kuhn said, “VEIC is proud to bring Nevada’s Home Energy Rebate programs to life with expert partners like Everblue and APTIM. We’re grateful for Governor Lombardo’s trust and collaboration and can’t wait for Nevada communities to feel the economic and health benefits of these critical programs.”

The Nevada Home Energy Rebate programs are expected to launch in early 2025, providing up to $14,000 in direct rebates for energy-efficient home improvements to eligible families. These improvements may include electric heat pump installations, electrical panel upgrades, weatherization measures, and other types of clean energy and energy efficiency upgrades.
