Summary

In order to help meet the goals established in Pennsylvania's Act 129, FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania companies (MetEdison, Penelec, West Penn and Penn Power) provide energy efficiency incentives for a variety of equipment. Eligible equipment includes HVAC, chillers, lighting measures, motors, traffic lighting, audits, and custom incentives. 

Instead of prescriptive rebate, most of the industrial program offers performance based $0.05 per kWh saved through the energy efficiency measure. Actual incentive amounts may be based on the calculation and remaining funds available. The incentives are capped at 50% of the total project cost.  A participant or contractor should submit an application before the equipment is purchased, after which, if approved, the funds will be reserved for the project. The participant may then purchase the equipment and complete the project and submit final project documentation and receive the approved rebate.

Contact FirstEnergy or CLEAResult, the program administrator, for more information on this offering.
