Cash for Appliances Proposal
Arkansas
expects to receive $2.74M from the Department of Energy (DOE) for ENERGY STAR® appliance rebates to residential customers.
The replacement of older appliances with more energy efficient models save families money while stimulating the economy
and creating jobs. Appliance rebates will offset the price premium of ENERGY STAR® products.
This program expects to rebate 18,000 to 21,000 appliances.
