Nevada ranks among the top states with the highest electricity bills in the country, with families paying an average of $100 more compared to a few years ago. A new website aims to help residents find savings as summer approaches.
The website "SaveEnergyNV.org" will connect residents to federal, state, and utility programs they may qualify for. These include federal energy tax credits and upcoming rebate programs for energy upgrades like solar, heat pumps, electric vehicles, home weatherization, and energy-efficient windows and appliances.
"Every Nevadan can find out what they qualify for by going on our website and using our incentive finder. You complete some information about how much your household makes, how many people live in your household, and you click submit and you can find out exactly what your household qualifies for depending on that information," said Angelyn Tabalba with the Nevada Conservation League.
