The Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska Board of Directors approved adding a high-efficiency heat pump program to its suite of energy efficiency programs for local residential utility customers of long-term wholesale power participants.
The program, which begins June 1, provides cash incentives to upgrade or convert to a high-efficiency heat pump. Cash incentives vary depending on the type of heat pump installed. Program details and an application can be downloaded here.
