The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

If you’re like many Michiganders, you’ve thought about installing energy-efficient appliances and technology in your home and wondered about programs to offset the up-front costs. Rewiring America has answers.
Electric vehicles are among the energy-efficient technologies Michigan residents can explore through Rewiring America’s incentives calculator.
The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit has launched a Michigan-specific calculator to help homeowners and renters estimate how much they can save with clean energy incentives and tax credits created by the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and other state, local, and utility programs. The programs cover heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction stoves, electric vehicles (EV), EV chargers, and other zero-emissions technologies.
The Michigan Energy Efficient Upgrade Savings Calculator is accessible through a link from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) website. Michigan is part of the first cohort of states with a custom version of the Rewiring America calculator that incorporates state and local incentives.
To use the calculator, Michigan residents need only input a few details about their households. The calculator will produce personalized estimates of how much they can save on efficient electric appliances and energy-saving technologies. It includes links for further information.
Rewiring America estimates that on average, U.S. households can receive $10,600 in federal incentives to help convert from fossil fuel-powered appliances and technology to electric-powered replacements that in turn can save households an average of $2,000 a year on energy bills.
How would you fare? It’s quick and easy to try the calculator for yourself, but here are few hypothetical scenarios for households around the state:
If you were considering transportation options as this renter, you would be eligible for a $1,500 rebate off a new EV and $500 off an EV charger through DTE Energy programs. You also would qualify for up to $7,500 off the price of a new electric vehicle through the federal Clean Vehicle Credit.
Under federal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) anticipated this year or next, you would qualify for a discount of up to $8,000 on a heat pump, although rebates will be implemented differently in each state. You also would qualify for a federal Clean Vehicle Credit of up to $7,500 to purchase a new EV and a federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit of up to $1,000 for EV chargers, available in rural or low-income communities.
If you were this homeowner, you’d qualify for either $1,000 off a ductless heat pump, up to $850 off an air source heat pump, or $800 off geothermal heating installation through DTE incentives. You also would qualify for the federal RCEC of 30% up to $2,000 for geothermal heating installation or an air source heat pump. And you also may qualify through HEAR for a heat pump once the programs roll out in Michigan.
Considering solar power? You would qualify for a 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (RCEC) for residential solar (uncapped, average $4,600) or solar panel upgrade. Bonuses of 10%-20% may be available for community or leased solar in low-income areas.
You would be eligible for a Clean Vehicle Credit of $7,500 off a new electric vehicle or a 30% tax credit worth up to $4,000 toward a used electric vehicle through the federal Credit for Previously Owned Clean Vehicles, as well as $1,000 off an EV charger through the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, available in rural or low-income communities.
You would qualify for $300 per ton off an air source heat pump and up to $600 off a heat pump water heater through UPPCO Heat Pump rebates. You’d also qualify for the RCEC of 30% up to $2,000 for an air source geothermal heat pump and/or heat pump water heater, a 30% federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHIC) for up to $1,200 off weatherization, and $150 off the cost of an energy audit.
You would qualify for a $1,200 rebate off a heat pump water heater or $100 off an electric resistance (non-heat pump) water heater from Great Lakes Energy’s Energy Wise program. You also would qualify for the RCEC of 30% up to $2,000 for a heat pump water heater and may qualify for a rebate on a heat pump water heater once the federal HEAR program rolls out in Michigan.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer demonstrated the online tool at its official launch June 10 during the Clean Economy and Community Impact Summit.
“If we face climate change with climate action, we can lower costs, create jobs, and make more American energy using American workers,” the Governor said. “The new Rewiring America calculator will show Michigan families how much they can save using incentives from the Biden-Harris administration’s clean energy programs. You can save money on your next home upgrade, whether it’s a furnace, water heater, stove, rooftop solar, or so much more. You can drive down your monthly bill by up to 20%, better protect the air your kids breathe, and support jobs and investment in your local community. I urge every Michigander to take advantage of these cost-saving programs and improve your quality of life.”

EGLE grants have helped rural and underserved communities in Michigan host e-waste collection events.
The grant application period for schools and childcare center is open through Oct. 18.
The CELICA partnership is pointing the way for similar efforts to support low-income communities around the U.S. and abroad.
The grants aim to advance the research, development, or demonstration of projects to create innovative and practical approaches to increase the reuse and recycling of batteries and other critical minerals through investments in Michigan’s universities and colleges. Today’s awards will spur innovation and strengthen Michigan’s critical mineral supply chain while protecting our natural resources and reliance on the extraction of new materials.
This autumn, don’t just think about composting your yard waste -- make it happen!
Michigan has selected 25 community-based organizations to join the state’s first Michigan (MI) Justice40 Accelerator, a 12-month program designed to build capacity and provide funding, training, and technical support to organizations serving under-resourced and underserved communities statewide. The year-long program will help meet the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan while addressing historical inequities.
With aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants and changing environmental conditions, the responsibility to protect water resources continues to grow.
