Custom Incentives

Compare Incentives

Specializing in Your Special Needs

Business energy incentives for complex or unique improvements projects.

This program provides incentives to customers for measures installed in qualified projects that are either less common or more complex than Prescriptive Incentives. Custom Incentives are paid based on the first year of energy savings (kWh and/or Mcf). A reservation application is required for all custom incentives.

Requirements

Custom projects must involve a facility improvement that results in a permanent reduction in electrical (kWh) and/or natural gas (Mcf) energy usage due to an increase in system efficiency. Projects that result in reduced energy consumption without an improvement in system efficiency are not eligible for a custom incentive.
