HPCs,

The funding for additional Grants and 0% Loan Offers from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources has been exhausted. Contractors should stop discussing these offers immediately.

Below is a list of the DOER offerings that are no longer available at this time.

  • The pre-wx barrier incentive will become available again in May as an upfront rebate under Mass Save (not DOER) with payments made before the barrier mitigation takes place.
  • Customers that are in the process and have applied for the barrier grants will be redirected thru the Mass Save process.
  • The expanded Heat Loan and central wood pellet heating system loans are being reviewed and may or
    may not become available again.

Please be sure your teams are updated and no longer discuss these incentives with customers.

Thanks,
Mark
