Commercial and Industrial Prescriptive Rebates

April 07, 2015

Summary

Note: In March 2014, S.B. 340 became law, leading to the end of Indiana's Electric Efficiency Standard. Under S.B. 340, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission may not "extend, renew, or require the establishment of an efficiency program" under the demand-side management program order issued in December 2009, and beginning in January 2015 they cannot require utilities to meet a goal or target this order specified.

As part of the Indiana Demand Side Management Program, customers of participating utilities can receive rebates for lighting, HVAC systems, VFDs, and Energy Star commercial kitchen appliances. Rebates are available for one-for-one replacements, retrofits, and new installations. Work must be completed by the customer or a contractor and all installed equipment must be new. Incentives are limited to $20,000 per account or premise, though higher incentives may be considered. All applications with a rebate of more than $20,000 will be inspected, and all applications with rebates more than $1,000 with self-installed measures will also be inspected. More information regarding eligibility and application materials are available on the program web site.
