We’ve simplified rebates for 2023.

We’re proud to offer a variety of energy efficiency and smart electrification rebates to help our members invest in high efficiency equipment for their home or business. By helping our members with some of the upfront cost of these sometimes costly upgrades, these incentives reduce the co-op’s overall energy consumption, lower participants’ energy costs, and encourage members to choose electric options over natural gas, propane, or other fossil fuel alternatives. And all this helps our cooperative reach our goal of providing 100% clean energy to our members by 2030.

Rebates are available to HCE members in good standing. Equipment must be installed in HCE service territory and be in working order.  Invoices must be dated within 90 days of applying for rebate. See full list of rebate rules here.
