Oregon tax credits available

The Oregon Residential Energy Tax Credit Program provides tax credits ranging from $50 to $180 for the purchase of premium efficiency appliances. To qualify for a tax credit, you must either have Oregon income tax liability or be willing to transfer the credit to an Oregon resident who does.

In some cases, the efficiency standard required for a tax credit may be greater than ENERGY STAR standards. Therefore, not every appliance that qualifies for a PUD rebate will qualify for a tax credit.

Visit the Oregon Office of Energy website or call (800) 221-8035 for more information or to apply for tax credits.
