How to get a free commercial energy audit.
When you’re running a large facility, energy efficiency can fall lower on the priority list — until your energy bill spikes. That’s where TVA EnergyRight® steps in with a no-cost opportunity that can deliver real value: a free, engineer-led energy assessment for industrial and commercial customers.
If your business has an electric demand of 1 MW or more (or your power bill hits around $25,000 or more per month), you’re likely eligible. Here’s how it works — and how it can help you uncover energy-saving upgrades, reduce operating costs and make your facility more productive.
1. It’s free and customized for your facility.
This isn’t a generic audit. One of our TVA energy experts will assess your specific operations, looking for inefficiencies, outdated equipment and opportunities to boost productivity through energy improvements.
You’ll walk away with energy efficiency tips that include:
- Recommendations tailored to your facility.
- Estimated savings.
- A custom list of potential upgrades.

2. You’ll get connected with vetted contractors.
We connect you directly with professionals in our Preferred Partners Network (PPN) to bring your project to life. These contractors are already trained in our incentive process and energy efficiency standards, helping streamline your upgrade process from assessment to installation. If you already have a contractor on board, we’re flexible. We can also work with your contractor.
3. You may qualify for incentives to help pay for upgrades.
Here’s where things really pay off: Many of the upgrades TVA recommends come with incentives, often worth up to $3 million annually per company.
These may include:
- Up to $0.15 per kWh saved for qualifying custom energy-saving projects.
- $80 to $250 per ton for high-efficiency HVAC upgrades.
- $0.13 per kWh saved for lighting retrofits or $0.10 per kWh for new builds.
Check out our current incentives and explore your possibilities.
4. You’ll identify new ways to hit sustainability goals.
Whether you’re working toward ESG targets or just trying to cut operational waste, the energy assessment provides data and direction. Many participants use the recommendations as a launchpad for achieving long-term sustainability outcomes.
5. It’s fast, easy and built for busy teams.
You don’t need to prep a bunch of documentation or shut down production to get free energy efficiency tips. TVA’s assessment process is designed to be low-disruption, with a clear next-step path once the evaluation is complete.
