2025 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Rebates

SHELD’s GHG reduction rebates are offered to promote the reduction of burning fossil fuels (heating oil, gasoline, diesel, etc.) locally within the town of South Hadley. Not only will the reduction in GHG help fight climate change, but it will also improve the quality of the air we breathe! Items must be purchased between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. The rebate application must be submitted by January 31, 2026.

    • Only new equipment is eligible.
    • Program terms and conditions are subject to change or cancellation without notice.
