Rebate Application

EnergySmart Rebates are a Big Hit and Going Fast

Nearly half of the $636,000 Round 3 Rebates were claimed in the first four months of 2012. Rebate resources are going faster than ever. Check the website for funding availability as you plan your projects. Rebates are awarded on a first-come-first served basis while funds remain. Check out our Optimize and Discover Services and watch for the launch of the EnergySmart financing program this summer!

Don’t miss these new 2012 Application requirements:

  1. New Utility Waiver required by the Public Utilities Commission – may only be signed by the person listed on the utility account
  2. Updated Terms and Conditions document – may only be signed by a legal representative of the business customer.
  3. Historic Preservation Review is required for buildings older than 50 years or on the State or National Historic Registers, except for interior lighting and some qualifying HVAC projects (see Historic Preservation Affidavit, below). If you are submitting an exterior lighting, HVAC, evaporative cooling, renewable energy or building envelope project, you must submit an application prior to completing work, or the project may not receive a rebate. Please speak with an Advisor at (303) 441 1131 if you are undertaking any of these projects.
