Summary:
The Empire District Electric Company offers a Commercial/Industrial Prescriptive Rebate Program to its non-residential customers in Arkansas who purchase certain high-efficiency equipment for their facilities. A variety of prescriptive rebates are available to all electric customers served under any non-residential rate schedule in the Empire service territory. The rebates, which can be applied to both new construction and retrofit projects, are offered for high-efficiency lighting, air conditioning systems, chillers, motors, and variable frequency drives. All equipment must meet certain energy efficiency standards listed on the program website. Customers can also apply for custom rebates that fit the exact needs of their facilities. Interested customers should fill out the prescriptive rebate application and worksheets located on the program website to find out the amount of rebates they could be offered. The amount to be rebated cannot exceed $5,000 per program year per customer. Applications must be pre-approved by Empire electric before equipment is purchased and installed.
