Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Residential heat pump help lasts longer

The law extends residential heat pump rebates, upgrade grants, and their fund for six years. Their repeal date moves from January 2, 2026, to January 2, 2032. This keeps assistance authorized through January 1, 2032, for eligible housing owners and providers, including those serving renters.

Contractor incentives support rural heat pumps

Oregon may pay contractors up to $1,000 per qualifying residential heat pump installation in a rural or frontier community. Contractors must qualify for and claim a rebate, with only one extra incentive allowed per installation. Oregon sets the amount and may use different amounts for rural and frontier areas. No more than 5% of available Residential Heat Pump Fund grant and rebate money can support these incentives. The incentive authority ends January 2, 2032.

Heat pump help targets burdened communities

Oregon must prioritize heat pump help for communities facing both economic or social hardship and environmental, climate, or other burdens. Grant administrators must serve or represent these communities or members of federally recognized Oregon tribes, and be able to manage grants. When more program money becomes available, Oregon may give existing grantees extra awards under their signed performance agreements. Extra awards are not required, and the law sets no amount.

Heat pump applicants face privacy tradeoffs

Grant agreements must require groups to use best practices to protect applicants’ and recipients’ personal information under applicable privacy laws. However, the law removes the specific ban on sharing recipients’ personal information in annual program reports. It does not require reports to share that information, and other privacy rules still apply.

Oregon resets heat pump overhead limits

The law replaces the fixed 15% limit on heat pump grant spending for administration and marketing. The Oregon Department of Energy now sets the allowed percentage by rule. Grant agreements must enforce that limit. The law does not specify the new percentage.
