Status of incentives for energy efficiency and home electrification:

Following the passage of the so-called "One Big, Beautiful Bill" in July of 2025, most of the federal electrification incentives expired on December 31, 2025.  A new incentives program is expected to launch in 2026.

 

“Save Energy Minnesota” combines state and the remaining federal rebate programs to support energy-efficient home improvements. It offers several rebate options to help make clean energy upgrades more affordable for communities and residents across Minnesota.

​

As of January 2026, Save Energy Minnesota has not yet launched.  Minnesota is waiting for formal approval from the federal Department of Energy to launch the program. When that will happen is not clear.
