Description

The Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund supports energy efficiency incentives for commercial, industrial, or municipal customers engaged in construction, renovations, tenant fit-outs, and equipment purchases. Incentives are available for customers of Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas, and Yankee Gas on a commercial or industrial rate. There are also commercial efficiency programs available for electric customers of Connecticut Light & Power and The United Illuminating Company.

Under the Energy Conscious Blueprint, Energy Opportunities Equipment Upgrade, and Operation & Maintenance Services sections of these non-residential energy efficiency incentives, energy experts are sent by the utility to help with identifying and planning energy efficiency upgrades. The utility energy experts will work with design teams, architects, engineers and contractors and propose cash incentives for each upgrade, but they leave the choice of which measures are taken up to the customer. Experts prepare a Letter of Agreement including measures taken, predicted energy savings, and predicted incentive dollar amount, which will be delivered when measures are implemented and verified. Financial incentives for facility upgrades can be as much as 100% of the incremental cost over less energy efficiency low cost measures.
