Utilities in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area

Utility efficiency programs follow the company that delivers your power or gas, so check your bill before you book anything.

Electric

  • Xcel Energy (Minnesota) Electric service for Minneapolis, St. Paul and much of the metro. Xcel's Minnesota programs list service providers for both 'the St. Paul area' and 'Minneapolis'. Source ↗

Natural gas

  • CenterPoint Energy (Minnesota gas) The main natural gas utility for Minneapolis and much of the metro. CenterPoint's Minnesota rebates are 'for Minnesota gas customers'. Source ↗
  • Xcel Energy (natural gas) Natural gas in parts of the metro. Xcel's Minnesota gas rebates require 'residential natural gas service with Xcel Energy'. The gas utility varies by address, so check your bill. Source ↗

Rebate eligibility depends on which utility supplies your heating fuel. Xcel insulation rebates pay the highest tier only to customers who heat with Xcel electricity or Xcel gas; Xcel-electric homes with central AC that heat with another utility's gas get a much smaller cooling-only tier. Home Energy Squad is open to anyone in Minnesota with a CenterPoint or Xcel account. Electric co-ops and municipal utilities serve some suburbs (the state benchmarking rule refers to buildings 'served by an investor-owned utility'); they were not checked individually. On the Wisconsin side (Pierce and St. Croix counties), utilities were not checked.

Whole-home upgrades 1 open of 1

Minneapolis Bonus Rebate (Green Cost Share, administered by CEE)

City of Minneapolis Green Cost Share (Climate Legacy Initiative), administered by Center for Energy and Environment

Open · limits apply Open, first come first served, for projects completed after December 15, 2025. Apply after the work is complete.

Official page ↗ · verified October 12, 2026

Amount Bonus on top of utility rebates, up to $20,000 per property in Green Zones and $6,000 elsewhere (per CEE's current page). Examples, Green Zone vs. elsewhere: attic insulation and air sealing $3,000 vs. $1,300; wall insulation $3,000 vs. $1,500; cold-climate mini-split $5,000 vs. $1,000; heat pump water heater $1,500 vs. $400; panel upgrade $3,000 vs. $800. The City's own page still says 'up to $14,000 if you live in a Green Zone and up to $5,000 if you don't'; this conflicts with CEE and needs confirming.

Who qualifies Owner-occupied or absentee-owned 1-4 unit properties in Minneapolis, including townhomes and condos. Co-ops, manufactured homes and new construction are excluded. The project must qualify for an Xcel or CenterPoint rebate, and a licensed contractor must do the work.

Official page ↗ · verified October 12, 2026

Amount From Xcel's Minnesota 2025-2026 Rebate Summary (form 26-04-601, 'Effective Jan. 1, 2025'). Ducted or mixed-ducted air-source heat pump at 15.2 SEER2, 9.6 EER2 and 7.8 HSPF2: $1,600 for Xcel combination or natural-gas-only customers, $500 for Xcel electric-only customers.

Who qualifies Minnesota residential Xcel electric and/or gas customers in single-family homes, duplexes and four-plexes. Ducted systems need a Trade Partner Network contractor; mini-splits may be self-installed with AHRI and NEEP documentation. A home with CenterPoint gas counts as 'electric only' for Xcel, so it gets the lower Xcel amount but can add CenterPoint's $1,100 hybrid rebate.

Federal Home Energy Rebates in Minnesota and Wisconsin

The two federal rebate programs, HOMES (whole-home efficiency) and the high-efficiency electric home rebates (HEAR, renamed HEEHR in 2026), are run by each state, so availability depends on the state. DOE rewrote the rules effective May 29, 2026 (Program Notice 26-2 ↗): no more federal rebates for switching from gas, oil or propane to electric equipment, and insulation and air sealing come before heating and cooling upgrades unless a home already meets a state-set level.

Status for the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro
Not open yet not launched (as of 2026-10-12). Commerce update dated 6/12/2026: waiting on DOE approval with 'no estimated program launch date'. Wisconsin side of the metro: open (Focus on Energy HOMES and HEAR 'NOW AVAILABLE'). Official page ↗ verified October 12, 2026

Program: Save Energy Minnesota, the umbrella for IRA HEAR, IRA HOMES, the state Residential Heat Pump Rebate and Electrical Panel Upgrade grants

Run by: Minnesota Department of Commerce

Commerce's page reads: 'Current update (6/12/2026): Save Energy Minnesota has not launched yet. Minnesota is waiting for formal approval from the federal Department of Energy to launch the program. There is no estimated program launch date.' It adds that 'DOE recently issued new program rules and requirements that change how the HEAR & HOMES rebates will work in Minnesota.' Timeline: DOE approved and funded HEAR in late 2024; it partially approved HOMES but awarded no funds; Commerce submitted all pre-launch documents in September 2025. HOMES is described as $2,000 to $8,000 or more per home. The state heat pump rebate (lowest of cost, $4,000, or cost minus other rebates) will launch with Save Energy Minnesota. It requires an energy audit within 18 months, prior HEAR approval, and an approved contractor; there are no retroactive rebates. Eligibility uses 80% and 150% AMI by county. On the Wisconsin side of the metro, Focus on Energy says Wisconsin's HOMES and HEAR are 'NOW AVAILABLE'.

Local energy rules

1 of the 3 rules we found reaches ordinary homeowners in some way; it’s listed first.

Affects homeowners

Minneapolis Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH) energy disclosure

Who it applies to Ordinary homeowners selling in Minneapolis: single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses and first-time condo conversions

A TISH evaluation is required before you sell ('You must have a full Truth in Housing report before you can show a property'). It includes an energy disclosure report that gives the home a 0-100 energy score based on attic insulation, wall insulation, single-pane windows without storms, and the heating system. 'This report does not require repairs.' Sellers can appeal a wall-insulation check.

Official page ↗ · verified October 12, 2026

Not for ordinary homes

Minneapolis Energy Benchmarking

Who it applies to Large buildings only: commercial and multifamily properties of 50,000 sq ft or more. Ordinary homeowners are not affected.

Owners on the City's 'must comply' lists submit ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager data by June 1 each year, with a $200 fine for missing the deadline. Low-performing buildings must get an energy evaluation, which the City offers free.

Official page ↗ · verified October 12, 2026

Not for ordinary homes

Minnesota Large Building Energy Benchmarking (state); Saint Paul's ordinance retired

Who it applies to Large buildings only: 50,000 sq ft or more, served by an investor-owned utility in Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott or Washington County, plus large cities elsewhere. Multifamily buildings with fewer than 5 units are exempt. Ordinary homeowners are not affected.

Owners report whole-building energy use to the State every year. Saint Paul 'discontinued its ordinance in 2025' and lets the State enforce compliance.

  • Minneapolis pays the full Home Energy Squad fee for all households while funds last.
  • St. Paul residents pay $70-$100 unless income-qualified.
  • The Minneapolis bonus rebate cap differs between CEE ($20,000 Green Zone / $6,000 elsewhere) and the City page ($14,000 / $5,000).
  • Minneapolis Healthy Homes Weatherization is closed until early 2027.
  • Xcel's web pages tell customers to get heat pump amounts from their contractor.
  • The amounts here come from Xcel's linked Minnesota Rebate Summary PDF (form 26-04-601).
  • City of Saint Paul home-energy programs beyond benchmarking weren't found.
  • Saint Paul's climate dashboard points residents to Home Energy Squad.

Hopkins' free-visit offer ran only 'through September 30, 2026'. Saint Paul is not on CEE's reduced-cost city list. Who qualifies: 'Any resident of Minnesota with a CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy account', owners or renters. How to book: Book online at mncee.org/home-energy-squad, call 651-328-6220, or email HESScheduling@mncee.org. Our research lists 3 audit programs for the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro, checked October 12, 2026; all of them are on this page.

Are the federal Home Energy Rebates available in Minneapolis–St. Paul?

Not launched (as of 2026-10-12). Commerce update dated 6/12/2026: waiting on DOE approval with 'no estimated program launch date'. Wisconsin side of the metro: open (Focus on Energy HOMES and HEAR 'NOW AVAILABLE'). Checked October 12, 2026. Nationally, DOE rewrote the rules effective May 29, 2026: federal appliance rebates no longer pay for switching from gas, oil or propane to electric equipment, and homes must get insulation and air sealing before heating and cooling upgrades unless they already meet a state-set level.

Is there help for lower-income households in Minneapolis–St. Paul?

Yes. Programs for income-qualified households in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro include Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), City of Minneapolis Healthy Homes Weatherization, Xcel Energy Income-Qualified Home Energy Savings Program, CenterPoint Energy HERO and Minneapolis Low Income Rental Efficiency (LIRE). Each one’s rules and contacts are listed on this page, with a link to its official page.

Which local energy rules affect homeowners in Minneapolis–St. Paul?

One rule reaches ordinary homeowners. Minneapolis Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH) energy disclosure. Who it applies to: Ordinary homeowners selling in Minneapolis: single-family houses, duplexes, townhouses and first-time condo conversions. 2 other rules apply only to larger buildings.

Can I claim a federal tax credit for an energy audit in Minneapolis–St. Paul?

Not for an audit done in 2026. The federal credit of up to $150 for a home energy audit was part of the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), and the IRS says it can’t be claimed for audits paid for or done after December 31, 2025. Public Law 119-21 ended 25C and the Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) for 2026 work. An audit done in 2025 is claimed on the 2025 return (Form 5695).
