What Are Energy Efficiency Incentives?
Utility energy efficiency programs provide rebates and financial incentives to help businesses upgrade outdated equipment and reduce energy consumption.
These programs help commercial and industrial facilities reduce energy consumption while lowering operating costs.

Common Upgrades That May Qualify for Incentives
Many commercial facilities qualify for rebates when upgrading lighting, controls, and HVAC systems through utility energy efficiency programs.
​
Common qualifying improvements may include:
• Replace fluorescent lighting
• Replace HID / metal halide fixtures
• Install advanced lighting controls
• Occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting
• Networked lighting control systems
• Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
• HVAC efficiency upgrades
​
Each facility is different, which is why a free energy assessment is the best way to determine what upgrades may qualify.
​
Incentives are typically calculated based on the projected energy savings from the upgrade, meaning larger energy reductions often result in larger incentive amounts.
Utility Energy Efficiency Programs
Utility energy efficiency programs help businesses upgrade outdated equipment while reducing project costs through financial incentives and rebates. These programs encourage commercial and industrial facilities to install more efficient lighting, HVAC systems, and EV charging infrastructure.
​
Many businesses qualify for incentives when upgrading fluorescent, HID, or metal halide lighting to modern LED systems. Additional incentives may also be available for advanced lighting controls, EV charging infrastructure, and high-efficiency HVAC equipment.
