On September 4, 2024, $87 million of federal funding is going to New Mexico to lower the barrier for low and moderate-income households to access rebates for home energy efficiency, money that originates from the $9 billion set aside by the Inflation Reduction Act for a rebate program. [1] The New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department Secretary Melanie Kendarine said that New Mexico is the third state to launch the Home Electrification and Appliances Rebate program and the first to include a retail rebate. She said that people can apply for a rebate online before going to the store, after which the rebate will allow them to pay less at the cash register. Governor Michelle Grisham lauded this as an effective tool in ensuring that no one is left behind during the energy transition. These rebates can be used for heat pumps and other devices to help lower utility bills. Eligible households can access up to $14,000 in rebates to buy clean and efficient home appliances.
