Portland will incentivize residents to adopt renewable energy and heat sources

Portland is creating an incentive program to try to motivate residents to adopt renewable energy and heating sources. City officials said Wednesday the city’s “Electrify Everything!” program is a chance for residents to get discounts on solar panels and home heating appliances. The city is working with solar company ReVision Energy to offer $500 off solar installations and $250 off air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters and home electric vehicle chargers. It’s also offering up to $60,000 to help low-income households adopt solar.
