NIPSCO (Gas & Electric) - Commercial & Industrial Energy Efficiency Program

January 09, 2023

Summary

NIPSCO’s Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program offers rebates to qualifying large commercial, industrial, non-profit, governmental, and institutional customers for installing new energy-saving equipment through NIPSCO's Prescriptive and Custom Incentive Programs. Prescriptive incentives reward eligible customers for replacing less efficient equipment on a one-for-one basis with pre-defined energy-saving technologies. Custom incentives are designed for more complicated projects or those that incorporate alternative technologies. Customer pre-approval is required for all Custom incentives.

The program is designed to help customers with energy and money-saving projects involving the installation of new, high-efficiency equipment or systems or upgrading or investing in new energy project(s). Eligible projects can include but are not limited to, lighting, HVAC, compressed air, refrigeration, food service, steam trap repair and replacement, and boiler burner controls. Rebate amounts are program-specific and are based on the type of equipment replaced or the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) and/or therms estimated to be saved by the installation of the new equipment or systems. For a full list of eligibility requirements, rebate amounts, and limitations, see the program website.

All projects must be completed by November 11, 2023, to be eligible for current 2023 incentives. Projects submitted after this date are subject to 2024 incentives and requirements. Applications must be submitted within 90 days of measure(s) installation.

Eligible NIPSCO customers include those currently billed under electric Rates 820, 821, 822, 822, 823, 824, 825, 826, 831 Tier 1, 832, 833, 841 or 844 and natural gas Rates 221, 225, and 251
