As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today that Rhode Island has launched its first federal Home Energy Rebates program, supported by the Inflation Reduction Act. Rhode Island is the fifth state in the nation to launch a Home Energy Rebates program. The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) portion of the rebate program that Rhode Island launched today will enable low- and middle-income households to save on energy-efficiency improvements.
