You can finance your new heat pump system at a low interest rate
through a partnership with the Nebraska Energy Office and about 600
financial institutions throughout the state as an alternative to a direct
incentive.
Customers cannot proceed with the installation until the Nebraska Energy
Office has processed the loan paperwork (this can take as many as 10
business days). Homes built within the last five years are ineligible for the
loan, but owners can apply for the incentive.
Electric Lawn Mower
Advances in battery technology have come
a long way in recent years.
More power is being packed into batteries
so your mower can speedily deliver a
knock-out punch to your lawn.
• 20% incentive on any new batterypowered
or corded electric lawn mower.
• Electric riding, walk-behind, and robotic
mowers are eligible.
• Incentive amount is based on purchase
price (installation, taxes, delivery/
shipping, and setup costs are NOT
eligible).
• Chargers and additional battery
purchases are eligible for the incentive
if they are purchased at the same time
as the mower.

Industrial & Agricultural Incentives
Industrial customers can receive incentives for a variety
of energy-saving projects including prescriptive and
custom lighting, commercial HVAC and HVAC system
optimization, industrial processes, variable frequency drives,
and heat pump water heaters.
Incentives are available to ag customers who replace
irrigation outlet components or install a corner pivot
VFD. The Custom Agriculture Incentive Program helps
offset the costs of energy efficiency improvements for
unique programs including grain conditioning, animal
husbandry, building upgrades, and more.
