State Assistance
Rebates

The State of New Mexico is offering rebates for the next 2-3 years on a qualified-income basis. Qualification include households earning less than 80% of County Median Income (AMI) or participation in specific state or federal benefit programs.

These are point-of-sale rebates and individuals must apply through the Energy Conservation and Management (ECAM) website prior to receiving the voucher/coupon for select products. Learn more about and apply for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) at clean.energy.nm.gov.
