Summary:
Connecticut electricity customers that install energy efficiency equipment and reduce their energy use during peak hours may be eligible for a rebate up of up to $600 per kilowatt (kW) saved. Any customer, whether building a new facility or retrofitting an existing facility, that is located in Connecticut is eligible to apply. The key consideration for qualifying is that the customer's proposed energy efficient retrofits/new building plans must result in peak demand savings during the winter peak (5 pm and 7 pm in December and January) and summer peak (1 pm and 5 pm in June, July, and August).
Examples of energy efficient technologies that could qualify include lighting and lighting controls, HVAC systems, refrigeration, motors and variable frequency drives (VFD's) and energy efficient improvements to overall manufacturing processes.
Businesses, non-profits, and government facilities interested in these rebates should review the website listed above and contact Larry Kata for application details.
Ameresco is the independent energy company selected by the Department of Public Utility Control to manage this energy efficiency program, intended to save 5 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The program is funded by the ratepayers Federally-Mandated Congestion Charge.
