Residential Green Incentives

How it works

The District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) offers a set of residential resources for renters and homeowners living in apartments, condos, and single-family homes. The page functions as a hub: it points residents to several separate programs and application links, and says homeowners can also call 311 for assistance.

Benefits are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If funding is depleted for the current year, applicants may join a waitlist for the following year.

What the page points you to

The page lists the following homeowner and household resources:

• Residential Rebates for discounts on energy-efficient appliance purchases
• Affordable Home Electrification Program (AHEP)
• Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) for home weatherization and efficiency
• Emergency Mechanical System (EMS) for emergency HVAC replacement assistance
• Rain barrels, rain gardens, and trees to help protect the Anacostia River and beautify yards
• Community Solar for a Pepco bill discount without installing solar panels
• Utility Discount Program (UDP)
• Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
• Verizon Lifeline for telephone landline service
• Lead Reduction Program for renters and low-income homeowners
• Lead Pipe Replacement Assistance Program (LPRAP)

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a dollar amount, rebate percentage, matching requirement, or spending cap for the Residential Green Incentives page itself. It only says some linked programs may have household income requirements.

How to apply

The page tells residents to click the links below for program details and to apply, or call 311 for assistance.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not give a start or end date. It says funding is available until depleted for the current year, after which applicants may join a waitlist for the following year.
