New home construction

For Alliant Energy's residential customers in Minnesota

If you are building a new home or even just thinking about it, there are dozens of decisions to be made. Some of the most important decisions you’ll make about your new home are things you’ll never see again – the width of the studs, the thickness of the insulation and the style of the roof trusses. By building an energy-efficient home right from the start, you can save on energy costs and increase your home’s comfort level for years to come.

Through our New Home Construction program, we offer base rewards from $600 - $3,500, depending on the square footage of your home, and whether or not your home receives heating and/or cooling energy from Alliant Energy.

Terms

  • Homes must be completed within three years of the construction start date to qualify for a rebate.
  • ENERGY STAR® qualified homes beginning January 1, 2012 or later are required to meet ENERGY STAR version 3 requirements.
  • Reward amounts will be prorated for homes less than 1,800 square feet in size.

Details are outlined in the 2013 Builder Guide [PDF].

Option #1: ENERGY STAR qualified home

ENERGY STAR qualified homes meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. With the help of independent Home Energy Raters, ENERGY STAR builder partners choose the most appropriate energy-saving features for their homes.
