Summary

National Grid offers various rebate programs for industrial and commercial customers to install energy efficiency measures.

Pay for Performance Program allows participants to identify various energy saving measures and instead of an incentive based on equipment purchases, the program provides incentives based on per unit kWh or therm saved. The program aims to identify and fund projects that have typically less than one year of payback time. Incentives are set at $0.12 per first year kWh savings, and $1.20 per therm saved. Incentives are not to exceed 1st year study, and are paid after confirmation of savings.

Lighting (existing facility/retrofit) program offers technical guidance and financial incentive that cover up to 45% of the equipment and labor cost of installing new, high performance lighting. Incentives are also available for controls and other technologies that increase efficiency.

Commercial Kitchen Equipment Incentive program provides incentives for restaurant owners and operators to improve efficiency of their facilities and equipments.
