2024
2024 incentives were implemented for projects that were submitted to AEP on or after 1/1/2024. Tier 3 Heat Pump HSPF mandatory requirement was updated to 7.8. Bonus incentive amounts were updated, and the 'Affordable/Low Income Housing' incentive was removed.

2022
For 2022, bonuses can stack with each other, but each type of bonus can only be applied once per home.
NOTE: the heat pump install bonus is incorrectly listed in the table as 9.0 HSPF--it should be 8.5 HSPF for a 16 SEER Heat Pump AC.
