Improving the energy efficiency of a business helps to decrease operating costs, reduce energy consumption and improve environmental performance. Energy Efficiency Investment Fund rebates are available to perform energy assessments, to make general energy improvements and to implement custom, site-specific improvements for either new or existing buildings.
Program participants must be non-residential facilities located in the State of Delaware. Projects that merely bring a building up to minimum energy code requirements will not be accepted. Complete program details can be found in the Program Guidelines .
Featured EEIF-Funded Project Eco-Friendly Triumph: Faithful Friends Secures DNREC Grant for Energy-Efficient Animal Center With help from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Faithful Friends Animal Society has a new shelter in New Castle.
Energy Assessment Rebates Energy Assessment rebates support both targeted and comprehensive energy audits designed to help facilities receive technical evaluations for appropriate, cost-effective energy efficiency improvements, specific to each building’s needs.
Prescriptive Improvement Rebates Prescriptive Improvement rebates cover three types of common energy efficiency projects: Appliances and food service equipment Custom Improvements Rebates Custom Improvements rebates apply to more complex or one-of-a-kind measures that go beyond the equipment funded by Prescriptive Improvement rebates. Custom incentives mitigate a significant portion of the project costs for high efficiency equipment.
The projects qualifying under this program are generally more complex and include aggressive measures that permanently raise the efficiency levels of standard equipment. Combined Heat and Power Rebates Combined Heat and Power rebates include five types of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems: microturbines, reciprocating engines, gas turbines, steam turbines and fuel cells.
Systems must meet the minimum 60% annual system efficiency requirement, and produce 1. 0 MMbtu/hour of useful thermal output. The CHP pathway is ideal for facilities with high annual hours of operation and a high thermal load.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
