Energy Trust of Oregon offers cash incentives to builders that incorporate specific energy-efficient measures into new construction projects. The cash incentives are designed to help builders transition over to the 2011 Oregon Residential Specialty Code. These incentives are available for work done between June 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.
Additionally, subcontractors can qualify for a $50 incentive for completing and submitting the incentive application form on behalf of the builder. The incentive application must be submitted within 90 days of installation or by October 1, 2011, whichever is earlier. Builders cannot qualify for the Stand Alone incentives on homes receiving an Energy Performance Score (EPS).
Energy Trust only offers incentives for homes within Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, Northwest Natural, and Cascade Natural Gas service territories in Oregon.
