Energy-efficient lighting can illuminate a whole new world of cost savings and enhance the work environment or guest experience. Lighting upgrades are the best—and often, the easiest—first step in any energy-efficiency program and can pay back your investment cost through energy savings in as little as two years or less. Energy Trust offers cash incentives for lighting and lighting control projects. Energy Trust offers incentives for a variety of lighting fixtures and controls (see below). Custom incentives are also available for lighting projects and are 35 percent of the total approved project cost, not to exceed $0.17/annual kilowatt hour (kWh). All standard and custom lighting projects must be pre-approved by Energy Trust.
Limited-time bonus offer has been extended to November 1, 2011: Energy Trust is offering a bonus incentive on upgrades from T12 to high-performance T8 lamps with electronic ballasts. Measures marked with an asterisk below are eligible for the bonus incentive. Learn more at EnergyTrust.org
