CUSTOM INCENTIVES

Turn custom upgrades into real savings.

Unlock incentives for custom-designed energy efficiency projects built around your goals, your budget and the way your operation actually runs. With custom incentives, TVA EnergyRight®, in partnership with your local power company, gives you the flexibility to improve your facility’s performance on your terms.

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

Upgrade and save money with up to $0.18 per kWh custom incentives.

Install energy-saving electric technologies and receive up to $0.18 for each kWh you save during the first year of operation. Custom doesn’t mean complicated. Our flexible custom incentives are designed around your project, helping improve payback and deliver measurable ROI from year one.

BENEFITS

Custom upgrades, measurable savings.

Energy efficiency isn’t one-size-fits-all. With TVA EnergyRight, you get expert support, flexible incentives and a clear path to designing improvements that match your facility’s unique needs. Custom incentives are subject to pre-approval and funding availability.

Built for complex facilities.

Custom incentives support specialized equipment, unique processes and non-standard upgrades that don’t fit traditional incentive paths. Qualifying projects may include nonstandard HVAC upgrades or chiller optimizations, pump and fan upgrades, control system improvements, process heating and cooling solutions, and compressed air projects.

Guidance from start to finish.

From scoping to documentation, our energy experts help streamline the custom incentive process so your project moves confidently from idea to installation. Payments are capped at 70% of the material and engineering design cost. A minimum incentive of $1,500 is required per application.

Savings you can measure.

You’ll need to demonstrate energy calculations showing energy baseline and projected annual savings. This enables you to get a clear view of your ROI before the project begins. Projects may require additional measurement and verification.

Flexibility to match your goals.

Whether you're upgrading HVAC controls, optimizing process loads or improving compressed air systems, custom incentives adapt to your facility and budget.

NOTE: DO NOT purchase, remove or install any equipment until all pre-approval requirements are completed and a formal Application Approval Notice has been received via email. Electric resistance heat projects are NOT eligible.

You’re in good company.

Businesses across the region are partnering with TVA EnergyRight to take advantage of incentives to upgrade equipment, lower costs and support long-term energy goals.
