Energy Performance Program

This program is based on a pay-for-performance model that encourages whole building energy performance improvements.

  • Participants have choice and flexibility in implementing capital and non-capital energy-efficiency measures and are rewarded at the same incentive rate regardless of the types of projects/activities that have been implemented.
  • Participants receive a performance incentive calculated as incentive rate multiplied by electricity savings. The electricity savings are determined by comparing metered consumption to their baseline energy model.

The incentive rates are defined as:

  • $0.15/kWh for energy consumed on weekdays between June 1 and September 30 (inclusive), during the hours of 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. (EDT).
  • $0.04/kWh for savings during non-summer peak hours.

Industrial Energy Efficiency program

This program offers organizations up to $5 million in financial incentives for each large, industrial energy-efficiency project accepted into the program. Eligible projects will deliver electricity savings using proven commercial technologies to lower energy consumption and reduce electricity bills.

The IEEP provides incentives to qualified industrial participants over multiple competitive rounds of funding. In each round, participant applications are ranked on the electricity savings their projects can achieve cost effectively, among other criteria. The organizations with the highest-ranked applications will be eligible to receive funding for their project(s).
