Energy Efficiency Products Program

Member driven and programmed to save!

Together We Save

EEA and its wholesale power supplier Tri-State Generation and Transmission pay incentives to members with active accounts who install qualifying electric water heaters, electric heating systems and/or energy efficient motors, commercial energy efficiency lighting upgrades, and Energy Star® rated appliances. Starting January 1, 2022, the deadline to submit an application has changed to 90 days and the incentive is based on the program in effect when the rebate is submitted to EEA. Contact EEA at 970-565-4444 or 800-709-3726 for more information.

EEA’s Rules and Regulations require you to advise EEA when making any material changes or increases in your connected load. Call EEA Engineering at (970) 564-4406 to schedule an assessment before you purchase your new electric equipment. Rebates may be denied if you refuse to install required service upgrades. 

Appliance and recycling rebates are credited to your electric bill.  Please allow at least 6 to 8 weeks for the rebate to appear. EEA reserves the right to inspect the installation of any rebated appliance.  Please review program details below.
