Salt River Project - Business Energy Efficiency Programs

January 20, 2023

Summary

Program Overview

Salt River Project, or SRP, is a community-based, not-for-profit organization providing affordable water and power to more than 2 million people in central Arizona.  SRP offers rebates to help SRP business customers manage energy usage and increase the energy efficiency of participating facilities.

For SRP’s energy efficiency programs, a customer is a company or organization that receives electric service from SRP under an approved SRP price plan. A customer may be a holder of a single account, multiple accounts in aggregate, or corporate accounts. A customer who is the holder of multiple accounts or corporate accounts with a single SRP customer identification number will be considered a single customer and may participate in multiple SRP programs subject to rebate caps and program requirements. To participate in the Program, a customer must install qualifying measures in a facility on an SRP non-residential retail electric price plan. Eligible price plans include E-31, E-32, E-33, E-34, E-36, E-47, E-48, E-61, E-63, E-65, E-66, or E-67.

SRP offers a range of energy efficiency opportunities to help commercial and industrial customers save energy and money. Reduced energy costs, technical assistance, and/or incentives are available for qualifying customers. Below is a summary of other available commercial and industrial energy efficiency and electrification programs. Additional information regarding eligibility requirements, rebates, and participation processes is available at www.savewithsrpbiz.com or by contacting the Program Administrator.
