Prescriptive Rebates
Our C&I prescriptive rebates provide incentives when you replace inefficient equipment with specified high-efficiency electric technologies, including:
-
Interior and exterior lighting
-
HVAC controls and equipment
-
Variable frequency drives (VFDs)
-
Compressed air
-
Commercial refrigeration and kitchen systems
To qualify, lighting must be used at least 1,800 hours per year and other equipment must operate at least 1,500 hours per year. Apply for these rebates using the applications below.
Custom Program
Our C&I custom rebates are for business customers who want to make improvements outside the parameters of the C&I prescriptive rebates. Custom rebates utilize the same application forms below. If you are unsure of whether or not your project might be eligible for a custom rebate, please reach out to our team at 616.355.1662.
*All applications are accepted on a first-come, first serve basis while annual funds are available.
New Construction Program
We also offer rebates for any commercial or industrial customers who complete new construction or major renovations of existing buildings that meet certain criteria.
To find out which rebates you may be eligible for, please contact us before completion of the design phase of your project.
Compressed Air Maintenance Program
Commercial or industrial customers with compressed air systems can skip the full C&I or Small Business application and fill out a quick and easy Compressed Air Maintenance rebate application. Pre-approval of the application is not required!
The application is designed for projects that consist of either compressed air leak studies (and repairs) or the purchase of engineered air nozzles.
Compressed Air Audits & Leak Reduction
Leak studies are incentivized at $20/HP and up to 100% of customer cost. The following criteria must be met to qualify:
-
The audit is performed by a qualified, independent contractor;
-
At least 50% of the leaks identified in the audit are repaired by either a contractor or the customer; and
-
A log is submitted with the rebate application that documents:
-
-
Leak location(s)
-
Leak volume(s)
-
Date of inspection
-
Date of repair(s)
-
Any leaks not fixed
-
Name of repair person
-
Engineered Air Nozzles
Engineered air nozzles installed in place of an open pipe or tube will be covered at 100% of the customer’s costs or $100 per nozzle, whichever is less.
Engineered nozzles not only significantly reduce energy use, but they also reduce noise levels and increase user safety by eliminating the risk of dead-end pressure injuries.
