Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program

Prescriptive Projects

This project type has predefined measures* with corresponding per-unit incentives. These projects tend to involve replacements and upgrades to existing systems. The incentive provided is based on the number of prescriptive measures installed. Applications for prescriptive projects must be submitted within 60 days of installation of the energy-efficient equipment. Pre-approval may be requested for applicants to ensure availability of funds.

Note: an application can consist of both prescriptive and custom measures.
