**UPDATE 08/18/2022** As part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 signed into law on August 16, 2022, residential energy efficiency tax credits have been extended through 2032. This information applies to the existing tax credits for 2022. Changes to residential energy efficiency tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act will become effective starting in 2023.

Tax credits for residential energy efficiency and those for builders of energy efficient homes were extended. Tax deductions for energy efficient commercial buildings allowed under Section 179D of the Internal Revenue Code were made permanent under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.

The tax credits for residential renewable energy products are now available through December 31, 2023. Renewable energy tax credits for fuel cells, small wind turbines, and geothermal heat pumps now feature a gradual step down in the credit value, the same as those for solar energy systems. As of 2021, biomass fuel stoves are included in tax credits for residential renewable energy products.

GEOTHERMAL FEDERAL TAX CREDIT

Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D): Increases residential credit to 30% for GSHP for systems installed starting in 2022 (after December 31, 2021) and extends the credit through 2034 (26%/22% phase out in final two years); the credit is not refundable, but can carry forward to future tax years.

Commercial Tax Credit (48(a)): Increases commercial credit to 30% for GSHP and extends through 2034 (26/22% phase out in final two years); refundable only for state/local/tax-exempt organizations. The rate increases to 40% if projects use components and manufactured goods that meet domestic content requirements.

Small Business USDA REAP Grants

What does this program do?

The program provides guaranteed loan financing and grant funding to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements. Agricultural producers may also apply for new energy efficient equipment and new system loans for agricultural production and processing.

Who may apply for this program?
  • Agricultural producers
  • Small businesses
What is an eligible area?
How may the funds be used?

Funds may be used for the purchase and installation of renewable energy systems, such as:

  • Biomass (for example: biodiesel and ethanol, anaerobic digesters, and solid fuels).
  • Geothermal for electric generation or direct use.
  • Hydropower below 30 megawatts.
  • Hydrogen.
  • Small and large wind generation.
  • Small and large solar generation.
  • Ocean (tidal, current, thermal) generation.

Funds may also be used for the purchase, installation and construction of energy efficiency improvements, such as:

  • High efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
  • Insulation.
  • Lighting.
  • Cooling or refrigeration units.
  • Doors and windows.
  • Electric, solar or gravity pumps for sprinkler pivots.
  • Switching from a diesel to electric irrigation motor.

OTHER AVAILABLE FEDERAL TAX CREDITS

Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C): Restores/creates 30% residential tax credits through 2032 for:

  • Air source heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (capped at $2,000/yr per taxpayer).
  • MPUs or other electrical work (capped at $1,200/yr)
  • Home Energy Audits (capped at $150/yr)
  • Various other building envelope and electrification measures at different amounts ...
  • All measures added together have an additive cap of $1,200 if the project doesn’t include a heat pump or water heater.
  • The additive cap is $2,000 if the project does include a heat pump or water heater.
  • Note, biodiesel and gas water heaters and furnaces qualify for the same 30%/$2,000 credit as heat pumps and HPWHs.

New Energy Efficient Home (45L): Increases the credit, through 2032, for developers upon sale of a house of $2,500 (EnergyStar single family home) or $5,000 (Zero-energy ready home), and extends credit through 2032.


Hope for HOMES: $4.3 billion. Provides funding for State energy offices for whole-home rebates for retrofits of up to $4,000/home for market rate customers, $8,000 for LMI homes (for energy savings >35%). Installation of a geo heat pump would meet the criteria for the maximum rebates.

  • No income testing.
  • Can be combined with ITC.
  • Rebate is based on either modeled or measured energy savings for the home overall
  • Not available for new construction, retrofit only.
  • Cannot receive a rebate through another federal program for the same measure (e.g. no double dipping w/ HEEHR).

High Efficiency Electric Homes Rebates (HEEHR): $4.5 billion over 10 years. Provides fundings through State Energy Offices and Tribes for rebates for electric appliances. Rebates 50% or 100% of project cost, up to measure-specific caps $8,000 for gshp or ashp, $1,750 for a HPWH, and $4,000 for MPU + $2,500 for wiring. Total home cap of $14,000 cap.

  • This program is income tested at 150% AMI.
  • Can be combined with ITC
  • Available for new construction
  • 50% of costs up to rebate caps for households at 80%-150% AMI
  • 100% costs up to caps for households at greater than 80% AMI
  • No double dipping with Hope for Homes or other federal rebates.
