ENERGIZE DELAWARE EXPANDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY INCENTIVES THROUGH SUMMER
IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 3, 2025
Dover – Energize Delaware has announced the expansion of 25 percent bonus incentives through their Home Performance with Energy Star® and Assisted Home Performance programs. These increased incentives are available to all Delawareans through September 30, 2025.
Home Performance with Energy Star® takes a whole-home approach to improving the home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. The first step to participating is to schedule a Home Energy Assessment where an experienced energy auditor will provide a detailed report on energy savings measures, efficiency, cost, and payback for the homeowner’s consideration.
“As supply costs increase for all Delawareans, we heard from our trade allies that expansion of this limited time offer would drive energy efficiency, reduce utility bills, and improve home comfort,” said Drew Slater, Executive Director of Energize Delaware. “We know the cheapest, cleanest energy is the energy we don’t consume and we’re working hard to share these programs ahead of higher utility bills this summer.”
As customers may experience higher bills this summer due to regional supply cost increases, Energize Delaware has expanded Home Energy Counseling and Checkup, a no-additional cost one hour home assessment, to all Delawareans, Home Performance with Energy Star® incentives, and other energy efficiency opportunities.
Since the incentives were made available earlier this year, Energize Delaware has seen a 45 percent increase in home energy assessments and 56 percent increase in projects. The expansion of Home Energy Checkup and Counseling has seen more than 200 appointments move forward with more expansive assessments, which have provided more than 194,000 kWh savings from January through May. The amount of every savings is equivalent to removing about 40 homes from the utility grid over the five month period.
Energize Delaware offers energy-efficiency and renewable energy programs that help Delawareans reduce their carbon footprint by promoting sustainable energy solutions for a thriving environment and economy. To learn more, please visit: EnergizeDelaware.org.
