The "Michigan Public Clean, Renewable, and Efficient Energy Act" (Public Act 295 passed in 2008) provided original authorization to create utility energy efficiency programs across the state. Commercial and industrial (C&I) members/customers can participate in prescriptive programs that provide incentives for the installation of energy efficient products and equipment. Prescriptive programs provide a incentive for the replacement or retrofit of high efficiency equipment. Reduced electric use resulting from peak shaving, demand limiting, fuel switching, power generation, or operating schedule changes does not qualify. To qualify, lighting must be used a minimum of 1800 hours per year and other equipment must operate a minimum of 1,500 hours per year. In order to qualify for incentives within the C&I Programs, applicants must obtain written approval prior to any installations.
The C&I Custom Program allows measures and systems to be installed for situations unique to that member’s/customer's processes. Incentives are offered on a per kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt hour (kWh) schedule, based on projected savings. Applicants can complete online forms with attachments of invoices and all project costs and then contact their local power company for more information or an application. Incentive dollar amounts are based upon the annual forecasted reduction at the time of project pre-approval.
