The EEP program rewards Pasadena businesses for a broad range of permanently installed energy-saving retrofit projects. The more energy-saving the project is, the higher the rebate. 

 


PROGRAM OVERVIEW

 

Rebates*


For Energy Efficiency Savings (kWh):

You can receive 5.5˘ – 44˘ per kilowatt-hour of energy savings accumulated over a year when you install energy-efficiency retrofit projects that exceed current CALGreen/Title 24 building code standards. For projects that aren’t covered by CALGreen/Title 24, the rebate is calculated by comparing the efficiency of the new equipment to the old.

 

For Energy Demand Reduction (kW):

If the project also reduces your coincidental peak load by 20 kilowatts or more, you’ll get a bonus rebate.

 

***SPECIAL PROMOTION**

"Triple Rebate" on Fluorescents

For a limited time, rebate incentive rates are tripled for T-5 and T-8 fluorescent lighting retrofits. With permanent installation of these efficient lights, your business can earn 16.5˘ per kWh saved over one year (vs. regular 5.5˘ / kWh rebate). Qualifying projects must be completed and post-inspected by Dec. 31, 2011. Also, as with all EEP projects, your project site must be pre-inspected before retrofit work begins to qualify for the rebate. 

 

 

*Terms and conditions apply; Total rebate amount may not exceed 50% of total project cost.

 

 

Eligible Projects

 

  • Energy-efficiency upgrades to permanently installed equipment are eligible if they EXCEED CALGreen or Title 24 of the California Energy Code. Other permanently installed energy-saving equipment not listed in CALGreen/Title 24 may also qualify, subject to approval.
     

  • Eligible projects may include, but are not limited to, energy-efficient upgrades of lighting, garage CO sensors, CO2 sensors, cooling towers, variable frequency drives, cool roofs, energy management systems, motors and compressors, exit signs, central plant chiller upgrades and chilled water conversion projects.
     

  • Building envelope efficiency upgrades do not qualify for the EEP program.
     

  • IMPORTANT: Projects already begun prior to application approval and pre-inspection are NOT ELIGIBLE. You must have an approved EEP application and pass a pre-inspection BEFORE work begins.

 

Rebate Payment

 

Rebates are usually paid within 4 to 6 weeks of project completion and verification by PWP and/or an approved third-party.
