Blooming Prairie Public Utilities - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
City of Blooming Prairie residential energy efficiency rebate program
program summary
Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA) is a joint-action agency which generates and sells reliable electricity at wholesale to its 18 non-profit, municipally-owned member utilities, and develops innovative products and services to help them deliver value to customers. With help from SMMPA, Blooming Prairie Public Utilities provides incentives for its residential and commercial customers to improve the energy efficiency of participating homes. Rebates are available for upgrades to lighting, fixtures, refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, clothes washers, heat pump water heaters, smart thermostats, dehumidifiers, efficient furnace fan motors, ECM circulator pumps, room AC, central AC/heat pumps, and geothermal heat pumps. Appliances must be ENERGY STAR to qualify for the rebate, and bonus incentives are available in some cases if the old working appliance is properly recycled.
