Wood and pellet stove incentives in Minnesota (2026)
The federal 25C tax credit for biomass stoves ended for appliances placed in service after December 31, 2025 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Pub. L. 119-21 §70505, amending IRC §25C). No federal credit applies to a 2026 installation. The table below covers Minnesota state, utility, and local programs only.
We could not verify Minnesota's incentive programs. The agency pages we check for Minnesota blocked our automated review, so we cannot tell you whether a state, utility, or local program currently applies to wood and pellet heating appliances. This is not a finding that no programs exist. Please check your state energy office or air-quality agency directly, and ask your electric or gas utility.

What we could not check in Minnesota
Some Minnesota sources could not be reached during our review. We list what we tried and what happened, so you can judge the gap yourself rather than read an empty table as an answer.
-
State and utility sources —
mn.gov redirected to an unfetchable bot-verification page — genuine access gap. Xcel MN heating subpages 404'd. Minnesota Power's full rebate category list has no wood/pellet/biomass category (that one is a confirmed negative).

Figures we withheld
We found these referenced somewhere, but could not confirm them at the administering agency's own current page. We would rather show you nothing than a number that may have expired.
- Project Stove Swap — Program confirmed open and linked from pca.state.mn.us/air/wood-smoke, but the page states only that 'all expenses are covered' with no dollar figure or cap, so no amount can be published.
| Program | Status | Amount | Source | Verified as of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No verified Minnesota programs are published because we could not reach the sources, not because none were found — see the gap list above. | ||||
