Home Energy Rebate Index 2026
We counted every program in the EnergyBS grants database: 84 home energy incentive programs in 19 countries. 64 are still active. 19 have already closed, several of them before their printed end dates, because the funding ran out. The full dataset is below, with the official source for every record.

One record sits between the two groups: the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), listed as an early-access waitlist. It is the federal successor to the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which is one of the 19 closed records. Read the CGHAP record for its eligibility rules, or the CGHAP application guide for the step-by-step version.
What the records show
1. Programs usually close early, when the money runs out
Of the 19closed programs, the records name the same cause again and again: funds exhausted, incentives fully reserved, a budget tranche spent. Canada's iZEV vehicle incentive ended in January 2025 because its funds were exhausted. TECH Clean California closed in November 2025 after its single-family incentives were fully reserved. The practical reading is plain. A rebate with a 2027 end date is not a promise for 2027. If a program matters to a purchase, the time to use it is while its record still says Active, and the official page linked from the record is the final word.
2. The 2025 US federal expiry wave is the single biggest closure event
The USA holds 18 records and 6 of them are closed, the highest closure count of any country in the index. Two records drive it: the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits (Sections 25C and 25D), recorded as ending December 31, 2025, and the federal EV tax credit (Section 30D), recorded as ending September 30, 2025. US homeowners now depend on state and utility programs, which is why the heat pump rebate by state breakdown exists.
3. Canada is the deepest market in the index, and it churns
Canada accounts for 21 of 84 records, more than any other country. It also accounts for 5 closures, including the Greener Homes Grant, the Greener Homes Loan (last day to apply October 1, 2025, per its record), iZEV, and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program. Federal programs have been replaced rather than simply ended: CGHAP is the current federal offer for low-to-median income households. The Canadian energy rebates overview walks through what replaced what.
4. Heat pumps are the largest single upgrade category
After general whole-home programs (49 records), heat pumps are the biggest named category at 16 records, ahead of solar (9), EVs (5), and windows and insulation (5). That ordering matches policy on both sides of the border: heating is the largest home energy load in cold climates, so it draws the largest share of program money.

How this index was counted
Every figure comes from the records in the EnergyBS grants database, the same records that power the grants section. Each record carries a status, a category, a published amount in the program's own currency, and a link to the official program page. Amounts are shown as published and are never converted between currencies or added together, because a Canadian grant, a US tax credit, and a German subsidy are not the same kind of money. Status is as recorded on October 15, 2026; programs change, so confirm on the official page before you rely on any single record.

EnergyBS counted 84 government home energy incentive programs across 19 countries on October 15, 2026: 64 active, 1 waitlisted, and 19 already closed. Source: EnergyBS, Home Energy Rebate Index 2026, energybs.com/research/energy-rebate-index-2026
Questions the data answers
How many home energy rebate programs are in the index?
The index counts 84 programs across 19 countries, taken from the EnergyBS grants database on October 15, 2026. Of those, 64 are recorded as Active, 1 is an early-access waitlist, and 19 are recorded as Expired.
Why does a program show as Expired when its end date is still in the future?
Because most programs close when the money runs out, not on the printed end date. Records in this database show the pattern directly: Canada's iZEV vehicle incentive ended in January 2025 with funds exhausted, TECH Clean California closed after its single-family incentives were fully reserved, and one Austrian boiler replacement tranche closed when its 2026 budget was exhausted. Always check the official program page before planning a purchase around a rebate.
Which country has the most programs in the index?
Canada, with 21 of the 84 records, followed by the USA with 18. That reflects where this site's readers are concentrated and where programs change fastest, not a global ranking of generosity. Amounts are published in each program's own currency and are never converted or merged in this index.
Can I cite or reuse this data?
Yes. Cite it as: EnergyBS, "Home Energy Rebate Index 2026", energybs.com/research/energy-rebate-index-2026, data counted October 15, 2026. Every figure on this page is computed from the database records listed in the table, and each record links to the official program page so you can verify it at the source.
How is the index kept current?
Each program in the table is a record in the same grants database that powers the EnergyBS grants section. When a program opens, closes, or changes its amount, the record is updated and the counts on this page are recomputed from the records at the next build. The count date at the top of the page is the date the figures were last checked.
