Customized Incentive Program
Designed for large and complicated efficiency projects, the Customized Incentive Program will help you offset upfront costs and improve your bottom line by providing incentives tailored specifically for your project.
Program Overview:
The Customized Incentive Program is available for any technology not listed in our Business Rebate Program. Since some efficiency projects are complex, the Customized Incentive Program was designed to provide custom savings solutions for complicated efficiency projects.
