First round of Electrify Everything!

In March 2022, the Sustainability Office partnered with ReVision Energy, a local full-service solar company with over 15 years of experience designing, installing, and maintaining solar energy systems in the region. In the first year of this limited-time program, Electrify Everything! helped residents access generous rebates and incentives for air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and home weatherization offered by Efficiency Maine and was able to help homeowners learn about other programs, such as tax incentives, that can help people purchase electric equipment.

As part of the program, ReVision Energy offered Portland residents:

• $500 off solar installations
• $250 off air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and home EV chargers (maximum of $1,250 per address, achieved if homeowner installed all four technologies)
• Up to $60,000 to help low-income households go solar!
  These discounts were given in addition to generous rebates and incentives provided by Efficiency Maine for electric appliances and tax credits available for solar installations.
