Participation is open to any commercial, industrial or institutional customer with a peak annual billing demand of at least 250 kW. Customers who want to enroll in the program participate through a competitive bidding process. Energy efficiency projects that produce, in the aggregate, savings of 100,000 kWh (or more) per year will receive preference.

Eligible energy efficiency projects must provide savings that are measurable and verifiable. The City of High Point must also be able to apply the savings toward its REPS (Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard) compliance obligations under the provisions of NC Session Law 2007-397 (Senate Bill 3). Eligible project include, but are not limited to: high efficiency lighting, refrigeration and HVAC systems; improved building envelopes; energy management systems; variable speed drives on motors; and measures that are unique to a customer’s business or physical process. Projects must be undertaken and installed during the calendar year period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
