PG&E - Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

April 10, 2019

Summary

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) offers rebates and other incentives to businesses and non-residential customers to increase their energy efficiency. In addition to covering equipment and other energy efficient improvements, PG&E offers incentives for efficient building design.

The Standard Energy Efficiency Rebate Program covers a variety of specified improvements, including:

  • Agricultural Improvements
  • Appliances and General Improvements
  • Boilers and Water Heaters
  • Business Computing
  • Food Service Improvements
  • Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Improvements
  • Lighting
  • Refrigeration

The Retrocommissioning (RCx) Program is a calculated incentive program that provides incentives for custom retrofit improvements that are not covered under the standard rebate program. 

More information about all these programs and information about technical assistance through PG&E can be found at the program web site above.
