Commercial & Industrial Rebate Program

We are resuming Energy Efficiency program activities after temporary suspensions due to COVID-19. We're taking extra measures to ensure the safety of our customers, contractors and employees. Prior to resuming program activities, our program partners are required to review and adhere to all New York State Safe Return to Work guidelines.

For questions regarding our program, please contact our program partner Franklin Energy at 888.316.8023 or send them an email.

We appreciate your patience as we safely resume program activity.

Special Bonus and Higher Custom Rate

As restrictions begin to ease and we all take steps to get our business and daily routines back on track, we are offering a special bonus to our commercial and industrial rebate program participants:

15% additional rebate for all projects completed and submitted for payment from May 26 through November 30, 2020.
Custom non-lighting rebate rate has been increased by 54% to $0.20 per kWh saved.
Project-level screening is now available for custom projects, enabling bundling of passing/failing measures, which can increase total project rebate amounts.

Payment applications must be received complete with all required documentation by November 30 to be eligible for bonus rebate.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Rebate Program delivers energy efficiency options in two key ways:

Prescriptive rebates for a broad range of specific, predetermined measures.
Custom rebates for projects that require site-specific assessment and cost analysis, and are not eligible for any prescriptive rebates.

We now provide new construction rebates for customers who design and construct their facilities with energy-efficient equipment. Rebates can be pursued through either a Prescriptive or Custom application depending on the measure(s) installed. The incentive catalogs indicate which prescriptive measures are eligible for new construction.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

Our program is open to NYSEG nonresidential commercial, industrial, institutional customers and municipalities who pay an electricity and/or natural gas System Benefits Charge (SBC) on their utility bills. Find more eligibility information.
