Net Zero Grant

Homeowners can apply for up to a one-time payment of $10,000 to electrify their home and go net zero.
CORE’s Net Zero Homes Grant aims to support homes that use little or no external energy. Net Zero Homes produce as much energy as they consume over the course of a given year, thereby achieving net zero energy consumption.
