Lighting incentives
Customized incentives for lighting systems and controls
Maximum incentive: 30 percent of project cost OR $35,000 per account, whichever is less.

- If the existing lighting system already exceeds Title 24 requirements, the existing wattage/sq. foot lighting density will be used as the baseline.
- Lighting controls will be eligible for $.05 per kilowatt-hour.
- Traffic LED retrofit projects and other non-Title 24 lighting will be eligible for an incentive of $.03 per kilowatt-hour. Maximum incentive: 30 percent of project cost OR $25,000 per account, whichever is less.
