Utah Energy Rebates & Tax Credits

4 state-level programs plus 15 federal programs available to Utah residents.

Key Takeaways

With 4 programs (rank #51 of 51), Utah offers fewer incentives than the national average of 12. Federal programs help fill the gap.
At 11.31¢/kWh (rank #49), electricity is 4.6¢ cheaper than the national average of 15.9¢/kWh. Lower rates mean longer payback periods for solar, but rebates can still make it worthwhile.
Utah was allocated $99M in IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) funding — below the state average of $194M. Programs cover HOMES rebates ($50M) and HEEHR electrification ($49M).
