Smarter energy performance for the buildings that power your business.

When you manage a commercial facility, every energy decision impacts your bottom line. TVA EnergyRight® incentives help you optimize existing systems and upgrade equipment across your property, so you can improve performance and make smarter investments.

Let our experts guide your next upgrade.

One quick form connects you to TVA Energy Experts who can help you unlock lighting incentives and other smart solutions for your business or commercial property.

Step 1 of 2

Two smart ways commercial facilities are improving energy performance.

Energy improvements don’t always require major equipment upgrades. Many commercial facilities unlock meaningful savings by improving how systems operate or upgrading lighting across properties.

 

Together, these solutions help commercial facilities reduce operating expenses, improve performance and create better environments for employees and customers.

For your commercial business: Get more from the systems you already own.

Commissioning incentives help businesses optimize existing building systems — identifying inefficiencies, correcting operational issues and ensuring equipment performs as intended. The result is lower energy costs, improved system performance and extended equipment life. No capital investment required.

Smarter outdoor lighting. Better bottom line.

Outdoor lighting incentives support upgrades to high-efficiency LED lighting for parking lots, storefronts and exterior spaces. These improvements enhance visibility and safety while reducing energy use and maintenance costs.
