RG&E (Electric) - Commercial and Industrial Efficiency Program

May 21, 2024

Summary

NYSEG and RG&E offer rebates to commercial and industrial customers for installing energy efficient equipment that have an electricity Systems Benefits Charge (SBC) included in their energy bills. Both prescriptive rebates and custom incentives are available for retrofits, add-ons, major renovations and new construction projects. Prescriptive rebates are available for the following categories:

  • Lighting and Controls
  • HVAC and Plumbing
  • Kitchen Equipment and Refrigeration
  • Process Systems
  • Agricultural Equipment

Custom incentives are performance-based and available for non-lighting energy efficiency projects requiring site-specific analysis and energy savings calculations.
