The Con Edison Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy efficiency program offers cash incentives for installing electric and gas energy efficient equipment and technologies. Energy efficiency can help improve your bottom line by reducing your energy usage and maintenance costs while increasing your operating efficiencies. These upgrades can also help protect the environment. Program Overview The Con Edison C&I energy efficiency program provides cash rebates and incentives to encourage and facilitate the completion of energy efficiency projects. There is no incentive dollar cap for most projects and 100% of the approved incentive amount is paid after completion. As a Con Edison market partner, you become your customer's guide to greater energy efficiency. There are two programs for both gas and electric: the equipment rebate program and the custom program. They also offer incentives for energy efficiency studies. They offer: * cash incentives for installing energy efficient equipment and technologies; and * a network of experienced contractors and service providers who can help get the job done Equipment Rebate Program The equipment rebate program offers cash for the installation of standard energy efficient equipment, including: * lighting and lighting controls; * heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), furnace, boilers and other gas equipment; * motors; and * variable frequency drives. Custom Program If you have an innovative idea for an energy saving project that includes measures not included in our equipment rebate program, your project may qualify for incentives under our custom program. Incentives under this option may include, but are not limited to: * chiller and/or refrigeration system upgrades; * compressed air system improvements; and * industrial process improvements. Energy Efficiency Study As part of our energy efficiency program, C&I customers can have an energy efficenergy use and recommend steps they can take to increase gas and electric efficion HVAC and control systems, and other major energy using process activities. The customer is responsible for completing the study. The study must be performed by an independent person or firm with the necessary credentials and experience needed for the particular study.
