Conservation Programs – Commercial
PrintCOMMERCIAL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
Many Commercial Sector energy efficiency opportunities are complex. They involve site-specific installations and there may be interactive effects between energy-consuming systems in a building. These opportunities include but are not limited to new construction, HVAC, shell measures, existing building commissioning, SEM, and, in rare circumstances, lighting projects.
Commercial Lighting Rebate – Requires pre-approval.
LVE is currently offering a program to help business’ convert their lighting to LEDs by rebating a portion of the cost. The commercial lighting rebate is for both retrofitting an existing building and new construction. To qualify, lighting projects must be:
- A commercial, industrial, or agricultural business that receives power from LVE and has an active service account
- Cost-effective and result in a minimum energy usage reduction of 25%
LVE’s rebate is based on the kWh savings. These projects require pre-approval, so please notify LVE directly before any retrofit is started to verify funding and project requirements.
