ODOE: awarded over $113 million in September 2024. 'No rebates are currently available. We will set a launch date when we have approval from U.S. Department of Energy.' 'Contractor enrollment for the Oregon home energy rebate programs opens on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. All contractors, home energy assessors, and energy modelers who want to offer rebates to their customers must enroll.' Oregon also runs separate state programs (Oregon Heat Pump Purchase Program, Rental Home Heat Pump Program) that are not the federal rebates.
