Updated 04-22-2010
The U.S. Department of Energy has approved Oklahoma's plan for the state's Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate program. Oklahoma was approved for a $3.5 million federal grant provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for appliance rebates. The appliance rebate program is designed for Oklahoma residents to buy energy-efficient appliances from Oklahoma retailers to replace existing appliances in Oklahoma single residences.
Here is a very high-level description of how the program will work. Please follow the links for more detailed CONSUMER and RETAILER information and general FAQs.
- Retailers who wish to participate must enroll in the system by 5 p.m., May 5.
- Consumers may wish to start window shopping early, but there is no need to do anything else before 9 a.m., Saturday, May 8.
- Beginning May 8, Consumers will go to a participating Retailer (you'll be able to look them up online) to purchase qualifying appliances. Eligible ENERGY STAR appliances and their rebate amounts are as follows:
