The Minnesota Department of Commerce will hold six public forums to inform the design of Minnesota’s Home Energy Rebate programs.
Funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, the programs will help households make energy improvements, like upgrading appliances to efficient electric models, adding insulation, and modernizing home wiring systems to support electrification.
Through opportunities for questions and breakout conversations, the forums aim to gather local perspectives and priorities from those who will benefit from the program.
Who should attend: These are open to all Minnesota residents, especially those with an interest in energy efficiency or who work in the energy efficiency sector, including utilities and contractor workforce; non-profits, community-based organizations and advocacy groups; and renters, homeowners, and landlords. Please complete registration form to request any accessibility needs or special accommodations.
