2026 Energy Community Opportunity
Your area could unlock more energy savings.Tired of high electric bills? Your location may give you another option.
We've identified your town or ZIP code as potentially eligible for an Energy Community opportunity.
That could mean access to additional incentives and new opportunities to reduce your long-term electricity expenses.
But not every property qualifies. Your specific address is what matters.
Let's find out what this could mean for your home.
The announcement
Your area came up in our Energy Community review.
We recently reviewed the current Energy Community map against the homeowners we've spoken with across Connecticut and Massachusetts. Your town or ZIP code was identified as potentially eligible.
That's why we reached out. Some locations have access to incentive opportunities that aren't available everywhere, and yours may be one of them.
Your town or ZIP code may qualify. Your exact address is what matters.
Energy Community designations don't always follow town or ZIP code boundaries, so every property needs its own check.
An Energy Community is an area the federal government has designated for additional clean-energy incentives. Areas are selected using local economic and energy-industry data, and the map is updated periodically. The current version took effect in June 2026.
In plain terms: some locations can unlock incentives that other locations can't.
Why your location matters
Where you live can change what's available to you.
Qualifying clean-energy projects located in an Energy Community may receive additional federal incentive value. Whether your home can benefit depends on your property's exact location and the program that applies to your project.
See which areas currently qualify.
Ben can check your address against the current Energy Community map and tell you whether it's worth exploring further. Final eligibility also depends on the applicable program and federal requirements for your project.
What could this mean for your home?
More incentives. More ways to lower what you pay.
If your address qualifies, a qualifying project at your home could have access to value that homeowners outside an Energy Community don't get.
Additional incentive opportunities
Qualifying projects in an Energy Community may be eligible for extra federal incentive value on top of what's available elsewhere.
Potentially lower long-term expenses
That added value can help bring down what you pay for electricity over the long run, compared with staying where you are today.
More affordable options
Depending on the qualifying program, the extra incentive value may help make the options available to you more affordable from the start.
More say over future energy costs
Depending on the program, you may gain more predictability over what you pay for energy in the years ahead.
An Energy Community designation does not change your utility rate on its own. Potential savings come from qualifying projects and programs, and depend on the project, ownership structure, available programs and your circumstances.
The first step is simply finding out.
You don't need to understand every program before you ask. Ben can check your address and explain what the opportunity could look like for your home.
Timing matters
Why explore this now?
Nothing on this page expires tomorrow. But the things that shape this opportunity do change, so it's worth knowing where you stand while today's map and programs are in place.
Designations are reviewed
The current Energy Community map took effect in June 2026. Eligibility is updated periodically, and an area on the map today isn't guaranteed to stay on it.
Programs evolve
The programs that can put Energy Community value to work, and their terms, change over time.
Costs can move
New federal import rules affecting certain energy equipment take effect December 4, 2026. Everlast expects upward pressure on project pricing.

Quick answers
Questions homeowners ask
What is an Energy Community?
It's an area the federal government has designated for additional clean-energy incentives, based on local economic and energy-industry data. The map is updated periodically; the current version took effect in June 2026.
Why did my area come up?
We compared the current Energy Community map with the towns and ZIP codes of homeowners we've spoken with before. Yours matched a potentially eligible area. We haven't checked your specific address yet; that's the next step.
How do I find out if my home qualifies?
Ask Ben. He'll check your exact address against the current map. You can also explore the Baker Tilly map yourself. Final eligibility also depends on the applicable program and federal requirements for the project.
Will this automatically lower my electric bill?
No. The designation doesn't change your utility rate by itself. Potential savings come from a qualifying clean-energy project or program at your home, and depend on the project, ownership structure, available programs and your circumstances. Ben can tell you whether it's worth a closer look.
What kind of projects qualify?
For most homeowners, that means solar, sometimes paired with battery storage. Depending on the program, related work like roofing or electrical upgrades may be included in the overall project. Ben will walk you through what could apply to your home.
What happens when I contact Ben?
He'll check your address, answer your questions and explain the programs that may be available. If the opportunity looks promising and you're interested, he can set up a free, roughly 45-minute in-home Energy Community Savings Assessment with an Everlast consultant, who reviews your actual numbers.
