Business Programs • Comprehensive business solutions
– Rebates based on amount of each project’s first year savings for lighting, HVAC, insulation, hot water heating, controls and other energy savings projects.
• Small business solutions – Designed to help small commercial and industrial customers, typically
considered "hard to reach” using less than 400,000 kWh annually

Comprehensive Business Solutions
There are two types of Incentives: • Prescriptive incentives
– Think “off the rack,” get it and go • You install energy efficient equipment and achieve energy
savings and pre-determined incentive levels
– Incentives typically average 20% to 50% of the incremental cost of purchasing qualifying technologies
• Custom incentives – Think “tailored,” custom fit to your business
• Incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis • Must have a greater than one-year payback period and less
than eight years
