North Shore Gas - Commercial & Industrial Prescriptive Rebate Program

August 11, 2023

Summary

Commercial and industrial customers can get prescriptive rebates when they install qualifying steam traps, pipe, valve and fitting insulation, boiler reset controls, demand-controlled ventilation, commercial kitchen equipment and other energy-saving items. New equipment must be installed and old equipment removed. Only new products that meet the energy efficiency specifications listed on the application qualify. Complete terms and conditions can be found on the application form.

If customers are interested in energy efficiency upgrades not covered by the prescriptive rebate offering, they can apply for custom incentives. Energy advisors and engineers will work with the customer and/or customer's designated equipment vendors to calculate potential energy savings for proposed projects. Financial incentives will be offered for individual projects based on projected energy savings. Customers must be prequalified before equipment is purchased and projects begin.
