What New Mexico’s pages say

ECAM FAQ (modified Feb. 26, 2026): 'The program has begun. Please visit CleanEnergy.nm.gov to get started.' 'The program will end four years after launch' (launch date not stated). Eligibility: New Mexico homeowners or renters earning below 80% AMI or in certain benefit programs. ECAM 'has a few contractors doing installation in select areas'. The FAQ does not mention DOE's 2026 Program Notices or fuel-switching limits. CleanEnergy.nm.gov portal lists heat pumps, heat pump water heaters (up to $1,750), appliances, insulation/air sealing, windows and doors, and electric upgrades (up to $6,500 for panel or wiring).

The Building Performance Association's June 2026 map, a trade-group source and the only national list since DOE stopped publishing one, lists New Mexico as “Applied & Rebates Available (launched)”.
