MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Energy says Alabama will receive up to $4.5 million for a rebate program for consumers who purchase new home appliances with an "Energy Star" rating.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the funding is part of the federal stimulus package. He says it's designed to save energy and reduce utility bills.

Chu says each state has to have its plan for distributing the money ready by Oct. 15, and the vast majority of the money will flow to the states by the end of November.

Chu says the purchases that can be covered include heating and cooling equipment, water heaters, clothes washers, dishwashers, freezers and refrigerators.
