In Connecticut, the utility company Eversource offers a residential new-construction program with several tiers based on Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score. The program pays the highest incentives for homes with a score of zero. There are bonuses for all-electric homes and homes earning energy-saving certifications. For zero-energy homes, the incentives are $6,500 for single-family detached, $4,600 for single-family attached, and $3,500 per unit for multifamily. The all-electric bonus is $2,500/$2,000/$1,000 for single-family detached, single-family attached, and multifamily, and $500–$750 is provided for Passive House certification and $250–$500 for DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes, ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes, or National Green Building Standard Silver certification (Energize Connecticut 2020a and 2020b).
The all-electric component began in March 2019.
