Rebates

Match the rebate to the name on the bill

Bryan and College Station do not share one rebate list. Applying to the wrong city wastes a season. Dollar amounts below were published on utility sites in 2026 — they change by fiscal year.

Bryan (BTU) — envelope

SmartHOME: 10–25% of project cost for attic/wall insulation, ENERGY STAR windows, or solar screens. Electric central HVAC required. FY Oct 1–Sep 30. No income test. Check mailed in a few weeks.

College Station (CSU) — HVAC

Energy Back II: $600 / $700 / $800 for 16 / 17 / 18+ SEER full-system replacement in existing homes. Plus $30 Wi-Fi thermostat, small LED credit, and a free on-site survey.

Federal 25C (either city)

Insulation, windows, and heat pumps may stack a federal energy-efficient home improvement credit on top of the local check. Confirm current IRS limits with a tax pro; this site is not tax advice.

Elsewhere in Texas

Municipal utilities and co-ops still cannot shop REPs. Deregulated territories (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP) can use Power to Choose. That is not Bryan or College Station.

Entergy Texas battery rewards

If the bill says Entergy Texas and you have a qualifying home battery, Greater Grid’s program pays up to $325/year for sharing stored energy at peak. Enrollment and Sept 15 timing are on their page. Not available on BTU or College Station Utilities.

Tesla Powerwall VPP (Entergy Texas)

Powerwall 2, 3, and Powerwall+ owners on Entergy Texas enroll through Tesla’s Virtual Power Plant page and the Tesla app — same seasonal peak-sharing rewards, not a BCS municipal program.

Entergy Texas EV off-peak + Time of Day

If the bill says Entergy Texas — including some Brazos County / 77845 outskirts, not typical BTU or CSU meters — EV Demand Solutions pays up to $100 for weekday off-peak charging (7 p.m.–1 p.m.). The FAQ has listed it as fully subscribed / waitlist; confirm live. Entergy’s Time of Day rate is whole-home, not EV-only. Do not copy either onto Bryan or College Station Utilities.
