TIMES RECORD • January 8, 2023
A $40,000 rebate program passed by the Freeport Town Council Tuesday night could be the first of several boons in 2023 for residents looking to slash their heating bills and carbon footprints. The new “Electrify Everything” rebate program, which Freeport Climate Action Now modeled off of similar offerings in towns like South Portland and Auburn, will offer up to $2,000 to qualifying Freeport households that purchase energy-efficient measures like heat pumps, insulation upgrades, energy assessments and more. A home energy solutions workshop at the Freeport Community Center from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb. 25 will provide information.
