The statewide HOMES/HEAR program will help income-qualified families buy and install electric appliances and make energy efficiency improvements to their homes.
APTIM will provide program management, marketing, community engagement, application processing, reporting, compliance, and more to ensure equitable access across the state. In partnership with Everblue, Franklin Energy, and Jefferson Wells, the environmental consulting firm will meet the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's objectives of reducing energy costs, enhancing home comfort, and promoting sustainable practices.
"This prestigious contract highlights APTIM's expertise in energy efficiency and innovation in rebate program management, driven by our commitment to equity for the communities we serve," said APTIM Vice President of Energy Transition Alex Scott. "Along with our partners—Jefferson Wells, Everblue, and Franklin Energy—we look forward to achieving outstanding results for North Carolina's residents and environment."
APTIM is a leader in delivering energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, and transportation decarbonization rebate programs. The firm also manages statewide energy rebates in Wisconsin, Louisiana, and Missouri. These federal programs require strict accounting and administrative controls, fiscal stability, and compliance, which APTIM proudly delivers.
Jefferson Wells—a renowned leader in specialized financial, operational, and risk management solutions—brings a wealth of experience and resources to this partnership. Everblue, known for its sustainability training and certification, and Franklin Energy, a leader in energy efficiency and demand response solutions, further strengthen the collaboration.
The North Carolina Home Energy Rebate Program is expected to launch in early 2025.
