Inflation Reduction Act created two consumer rebate programs tied to energy efficiency.

They're respectively worth up to $8,000 and $14,000 for consumers, depending on criteria like income and specific efficiency-related upgrades or purchases.

South Dakota declined the federal funding tied to the programs, which is tied to two new programs.

Nearly every state has indicated it will launch a rebate program for residents.

Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2023 had vetoed the state's authority to spend about $5 million of federal funds to administer the energy rebate program.

At a high level, consumers will be able to get the rebates at the point of sale, when they buy an appliance directly from a retailer or from a qualified contractor who's helping a household complete an efficiency project.
