Custom Projects

Cash incentives are available to customers planning unique equipment and system upgrades and industrial process improvements. If you have energy-saving improvements planned that are not available through other incentive programs offered, you may be eligible for custom incentives. Projects may include:
  • Compressed Air System Improvements
  • Energy Management Systems (EMS) / Building Automation Systems (BAS)
  • Industrial Process Improvements

Program Details

A distinguishing feature of custom project incentives is the primary focus on entire projects rather than on individual measures. With custom projects savings are individually calculated for each energy-efficiency measure (EEM) and then added to obtain the total savings for the project. Adjustments are made for interactions among measures that would increase or decrease net savings.

Custom incentives cover up to 50% of the project installed costs, capped at $0.28 per annual estimated kWh saved and no less than 1.5 year pay back. Small business custom incentives cover up to 80% of the project installed costs, capped at $0.50 per annual estimated kWh saved and no less than a 6 month pay back. Download the application for complete details.
