Summary:
NYSEG and RG&E offer rebates to non-residential customers installing energy efficient equipment that have an electricity Systems Benefits Charge (SBC) included in their energy bills. Both prescriptive rebates and custom incentives are available. These rebates are being offered due to the June 2008 New York State Public Service Commission order to meet New York's Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard. The goal is to reduce statewide energy use 15% by 2015.
Custom incentives are available when energy efficiency improvements require site-specific engineering and cost analysis. Any nonresidential NYSEG or RG&E electricity customer is eligible, and customers can select their own contractor to install equipment.
If standard rebate or custom projects meet the eligibility requirements specified on the individual application forms, then participants should submit equipment specification sheets, equipment inventory sheets, building plans and invoices with the application. NYSEG or RG&E may require a pre-installation inspection. After approval of the application, NYSEG or RG&E will authorize payment in 6-8 weeks. Pre-approval is required for all custom applications, and for standard rebate applications of more than $10,000.
Ensave Agricultural Incentives are determined by Ensave on a case by case basis. Participants can contact Ensave to learn which equipment qualifies and how much of a rebate they can receive. Customers must provide equipment quotes and an equipment invoice, and pre/post-installation site inspections may be required. Free engine block heater timers are available for up to four farm vehicles. The program is open to any NYSEG or RG&E nonresidential customer who pays the System Benefit Charge (SBC) on their bills.
