The Clean Energy Program, Energy Efficiency grant award provides up to $6,250 in funds for residential energy efficiency measures, in addition to Washington Gas incentives. The maximum grant award amount is $6,250 (for gas incentives), of which $2,500 can be allocated towards natural gas incentives, and up to 60% of total grant award amount ($3,750) can be allocated towards air sealing and insulation (does not include ancillary equipment like baffles/ventilation). 

Note: Please be advised the Clean Energy Program, Energy Efficiency Grant award is no longer funding electric incentives due to funding availability. All electric homes will not qualify for the grant award.
