Energy-efficient equipment purchased, work contracted and work completed prior to the program start date are not eligible for incentives.
Incentives are capped at up to 75% of the incremental cost per prescriptive measure and up to 50% of the incremental cost on custom measures. The incremental cost is the difference between the cost of installing a high-efficiency equipment and the cost of lower-cost standard equipment.
If a single premise exceeds $600,000 in incentives during the program year all incentives above $600,000 will be paid at 50% of the normal incentive.
