Today CLEAResult, North America’s largest energy efficiency, energy transition and energy sustainability services provider, announced a partnership with Walker-Miller Energy Services (“Walker-Miller”), one of the largest African American and woman-owned energy efficiency companies in the United States. Together, CLEAResult and Walker-Miller will launch the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Home Efficiency Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates programs in Michigan.

This partnership builds on decades of trust and long-standing relationships both companies have established with local communities and utilities across Michigan. Together, Walker-Miller and CLEAResult are uniquely equipped to remove cultural and financial barriers to participation, ensuring that all Michiganders—particularly those in underserved communities—can quickly and equitably access energy efficiency resources on a larger scale than ever before.

With Walker-Miller’s nearly 25 years of experience and deep-rooted commitment to equitably serving both income-qualified and market-rate households, and CLEAResult’s experience running energy waste reduction programs in Michigan for almost 15 years, residents will benefit from energy efficiency upgrades that increase comfort, reduce maintenance costs and improve climate resilience in their homes.

"This effort fits squarely within Walker-Miller’s longstanding commitment to catalyzing equity in the clean energy transition as well as Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s commitment to leveraging every available resource, including federal funding, on behalf of Michigan’s most vulnerable families. This program will change lives by decreasing residential energy burdens and facilitating the benefits of electrification across the state,” said Carla Walker-Miller, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Walker-Miller.

The IRA Home Efficiency Rebates program will provide financial incentives for energy-burdened homeowners to improve their home’s energy performance, while the Home Electrification and Appliances Rebate programs will facilitate the transition to electric appliances, helping promote cleaner energy sources and lowering household energy consumption.

“This partnership makes energy savings, clean energy solutions and sustainability more accessible and available to over 10 million Michigan residents,” said Rich McBee, CLEAResult’s Chief Executive Officer. “Together, our decades of expertise serving communities across Michigan will equip residents with the tools and resources they need to enhance their homes' energy efficiency and resilience on a larger scale.”
