North Carolina on Thursday launched its Home Energy Rebates programs under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), joining 11 other states with live programs. 

  • Catch up: The IRA earmarked nearly $9 billion to reimburse homeowners who make energy-efficient HVAC upgrades. Details

What’s happening: Since October 31, the number of states with active rebate programs has grown from nine to twelve, including Washington D.C., and now North Carolina. 

  • Zoom in: All remaining states, excluding South Dakota, which won’t be participating, have been awarded funds from the Department of Energy, as of January 17, but haven’t launched their programs yet. 
  • Full breakdown

What’s next: While Congress may target certain programs under the IRA, all 50 states (and D.C.), since they’ve either launched rebate programs or received funding, are expected to proceed as planned.
