Riverland Energy Cooperative offers a number of rebates for the purchase and installation of efficient lighting fixtures, air conditioners, heat pumps, water heaters, central electric thermal storage units, and agricultural equipment.  All rebates except for the lighting rebates require load management control. Rebates also exist for home energy audits, implementation of improvements suggested by home energy audits, and also for custom, creative energy efficient measures.

Note: The Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) Program. The IRA established the main parameters for this program, but allowed the states to customize the program to meet their state-specific needs. The program is designed to provide rebates for whole-home energy improvements. Actual rebate amounts are determined by the level of modeled or measured energy savings and the income level of the applicant. See summary below and program website for complete details. 

North Carolina launched its HER program in January 2025. As a first step, interested residents of North Carolina need to confirm their
