Poudre Valley REA - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association, a Touchstone Energy cooperative serving northern Colorado, offers rebates to residential members to lower the cost of efficient electric equipment and appliances.

Residential rebates are grouped into five categories on the cooperative's rebate page: appliances, electric vehicles, heating and cooling, outdoor power equipment, and smart thermostats. Amounts vary by measure and are subject to change with program funding and availability, so check the current figures on the program website before buying.

How to claim. You must be a PVREA member. Buy the equipment before submitting the application, apply within 90 days of purchase, and include receipts and any other requested documentation. Rebates are normally processed in six to eight weeks: a rebate under $250 is applied as a credit to the next billing cycle, and a rebate of $250 or more is mailed as a check. All rebates are for new equipment only.

PVREA runs a separate set of rebates for business members, covering measures such as commercial lighting, industrial motors and variable speed or variable frequency drives.
