Focus on Energy also offers incentives for specialty energy efficiency measures for the plastics, pulp and paper and heat-treating industries. Incentives are available for equipment such as radiant heater bands, repulper rotors and radiant tube inserts.

Custom projects and incentives are calculated on a case-by-case basis for non-standard technologies and projects, and are based on size and type of organization and level of energy use. 

Before purchasing equipment or proceeding with upgrades, you must be working with an Energy Advisor from Focus on Energy. Your advisor will help you to determine if your project qualifies for a Focus on Energy custom incentive and will help you obtain any necessary approvals. Focus on Energy will pay up to 50% of the cost of an energy project assessment.
