Energy Efficiency Assistance Program (EEAP)

OPPD supports energy-efficient home improvements

We want to help you find as many ways as possible to bring down your monthly bills, make your family’s home more comfortable and reduce your overall energy use. OPPD’s Energy Efficiency Assistance Program helps you make efficient improvements to your home and connect you with knowledgeable professionals.

At no cost to you, the EEAP may help:

Reduce your monthly utility bills
Grant up to $2,000 in energy-efficient home upgrades
Teach valuable cost-cutting energy-saving tips
Improve your household's comfort

Here’s how the EAP works

After you’ve applied and are accepted into the program (see Eligibility Requirements below), we provide a complimentary in-home energy assessment to identify areas for energy-efﬁciency upgrades. This home audit takes just 3-4 hours to complete and gives us a detailed overview of your home’s energy use.

We then determine which upgrades best qualify for up to $2,000 in improvements, implemented by contractor partners like Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, Habitat for Humanity of Council Bluffs, Southeast Nebraska Community Action Partnership (SENCA), Northeast Nebraska Community Action Partnership (NENCAP) and Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders Counties (CAPLSC).
