  • Reduced maintenance
  • Potential process improvements
  • Energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint
  • Cash rebates for equipment and controls upgrades

Three tiers of services and rebates

  • Preliminary assessment - Free
    SRP will fund a pre-approved assessment of your energy using systems (up to a maximum of $3,000) to identify energy inefficiencies and potential improvements.
  • Technical assessment - Co-funded
    SRP will pay 50% of the cost of a pre-approved detailed technical assessment, including recommendations and estimates of costs, energy savings, and financial returns, with maximum SRP funding of $15,000.
  • Rebates for custom equipment upgrades - $0.11/kWh
    After purchase, installation, and commissioning of approved equipment, rebates will be paid at $0.11/kWh for first-year energy savings, up to 50% of the incremental cost of high-efficiency equipment.

Total rebates under this program are limited to $100,000 per program year (May 1, 2009 - April 30, 2010). Total rebates for participation in multiple SRP PowerWise Business Solutions programs are limited to $150,000.

You may choose a Qualified Service Provider (QSP) to conduct the assessments. SRP will assign a QSP to conduct verifications. Equipment rebates are based on verified reductions in annual energy use.

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis until all funding has been committed. Customers requesting rebates after reservation of all available funding have the option to be placed on a waiting list.

Custom upgrades

Most cost-effective retrofit measures that reduce annual energy consumption, without increasing summer peak demand, will qualify. The program is flexible, and participants may propose measures recommended in the Technical Assessment Report, or others.

Examples of qualifying measures:

  • Installation of new energy management control systems
  • VFDs on existing chillers
  • Refrigeration compressor and condenser replacement
  • Direct or indirect evaporative cooling system (to replace vapor compression cooling)
  • Constant air volume to variable air volume (VAV) conversion

All technical assessments and measures to be implemented require pre-approval from SRP. After installation, you must commission the new equipment and submit a commissioning report to receive the full amount of your rebate.
