We can help upgrade your facilities and equipment with our Go Electric and efficiency incentives.
Submit an inquiry form and we’ll schedule a free energy assessment for your business. Our team of experts will identify upgrades you can make right now with program incentives and develop a plan for deeper savings down the road.
Bundle your upgrades to save more
Your incentive and energy savings increase when you choose to upgrade more than one measure category at once. Receive a bonus incentive by upgrading from gas to electric equipment.
How does it work?
A retail store wants to upgrade to new LED lighting. The original incentive for the store’s lighting upgrade is $5,570. When the owner decides to upgrade the HVAC system as well, the lighting incentive increases to $8,100.*
Our energy advisors will help you identify all upgrade and incentive opportunities during your free energy assessment.
*Each measure category and bundle option has a set incentive rate per kWh. The project’s scope of work will determine the total incentive amount. Incentive funds are finite and first-come, first-served for qualifying projects.
