Summary:
Progress Energy provides New Construction, Retrofit, and Feasibility Study rebates to commercial, industrial, and government organizations. Incentives can be based on prescriptive rebate amounts listed above or custom amounts based on kiloWatt hours saved. Custom measures are required to have at least a 1.0 on the Total Resource Cost Test to qualify for an incentive. Incentives earned up to $100,000 will be paid at 100% of earned amount; $100,001 – $500,000 at 50% of the earned amount; $500,001 – $1,000,000 at 25% of the earned amount; and all incentives over $1,000,000 will be paid at 10% of the earned amount.
There are also technical assistance incentives. One for building energy modeling designs that have a projected first-year electrical savings of at least 15 percent beyond the applicable building code, and a facility design incentive: $.05 per kWh of projected first year savings up to a maximum of $50,000. The Building Energy Modeling Incentives are offered, up to a maximum of $20,000, not to exceed the total cost of the modeling service. A customer may select an incentive for either a building energy modeling service or facility design, but not both. Customers can receive up to 50 percent of the cost of an energy or feasibility study for a facility every three years.
Once a project is identified, a pre-approval incentive application should be submitted to Progress Energy and when approved, proceed with installation. Pre-approval is required for some lighting prescriptive measures, and all custom projects and technical assistance and is strongly encouraged for all projects to reserve funding. Final Application and all required documentation must be received by PEC within 60 days of Project completion. All Equipment must be purchased and installed prior to submitting the Final Application. Final Applications and all required supporting documentation should be received by February 28, 2010.
