GCEA has partnered with Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association to expand our Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. Members may receive rebates for any of the energy efficiency measures listed in the table below that are installed in GCEA's service area and meet all requirements.
Submitting multiple rebates or having trouble submitting the form? Email your receipts and account information to: rebates@gcea.coop.
Please submit proof of purchase through receipt and/or invoice, Energy Guide label showing ENERGY STAR® certification for appliances (except electric water heater) and Lighting Facts label showing lumens for LEDs. All rebates must be requested within 120 days of installation.
If you are unsure if your appliance is ENERGY STAR® certified, visit Energy Star's Product Finder. Choose your appliance and enter the manufacturer of the appliance and its model number to verify eligibility.
Upon approval, rebate checks will be issued by GCEA and sent to the member.
