LED INCENTIVES

New Construction Lighting: Built-in efficiency from the start.

The smartest lighting plans begin before the walls go up. With New Construction Lighting incentives, you can earn credit for designing and installing energy efficient LEDs and controls that help your project perform better and save more from day one.

Let’s talk about incentives!

Whether you’re ready to apply for an incentive, looking for multiple bids or need guidance, you can connect with an Energy Expert for advice that’s tailored to your needs.

Step 1 of 2

Earn $0.10/kWh with indoor LED lighting upgrades for new installations to permanent buildings.

No pre-approval required, and covered parking garages and major renovations with a COMcheck are included. Earn $0.10/kWh on installed building-wide Lighting Power Density for improvements above 2009 IECC new construction codes.

Network lighting controls are also eligible and could increase energy savings and incentives.
