Custom Incentives

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.
