Rebates & Incentives
A variety of federal, state, local, and utility-sponsored programs
are available to help you implement energy efficiency and renewable
energy projects.
Most often, incentives are used to buy down the initial investment
requirement for Energy Saving Performance Contracts and may serve to
allow the inclusion of energy efficiency measures that didn’t quite meet
the hurdle of the project or programs predetermined term.
Many
established state Energy Saving Performance Contracting programs require
the Energy Services Company (ESCO) to include all applicable incentives
or rebates as a part of their scope of work considerations and obligate
them as providers to manage the participation and reporting
requirements.
