River Falls Municipal Utilities - Business Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

November 08, 2024

Summary

River Falls Municipal Utility (RFMU) offers a variety of rebates to business customers for implementing energy efficient equipment upgrades. Incentives are available for commercial lighting, central AC tune-ups, LED exit signs, and custom projects.

Custom offerings include the Shared Savings Program, which provides incentives for up to $50,000 to cover the sometimes daunting upfront cost of energy efficiency improvements. Repayments are made through monthly installments on a customer's utility bill. Repayment plans are based on the savings generated from the implemented energy efficiency measures. As a result, the amount paid on a customer's utility bill should remain basically unchanged.

The River Falls Municipal Utilities (RFMU) Rebate Program offers business incentives for energy efficiency, commercial air tune-ups, energy efficiency for non-profits, new construction design assistance, and schools assistance.

Additionally, the Focus on Energy Rebate Program is designed to help commercial customers who wish to make energy efficiency upgrades. Customers must get pre-approval to qualify for this program. Eligible measures include:

Lighting
HVAC
Motors and Drives
Compressed Air Systems
Electric Chillers
Food service measures
Agricultural Process Equipment
Specialty Measures
Energy Efficiency studies

Incentive amounts for the Focus on Energy Rebate Program vary by project. Contact the utility or visit the focus on energy website for more information.
