Lighting rebates are back in the spotlight these days, as electric utilities tweak their existing programs to maximize energy saving at residential, business and institutional customers with a mix of standard and custom rebates. Some of these programs are now blending in newer lighting technologies like LEDs and induction lighting.

Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corp., recently filed a three-year energy plan with the Missouri Public Service Commission (MPSC) that offers a portfolio of energy efficiency programs that it says will make it the largest such plan in the state of Missouri. The expenditures for the new programs will be approximately twice the size of the utility company’s previous energy-efficiency programs and include a broad array of lighting rebates. The programs include energy-efficiency investments of approximately $145 million over three years beginning early Jan. 2013. These investments are expected to result in approximately $500 million in total customer benefits over the next 20 years. Annual energy savings are expected to be nearly 800 million kilowatt-hours — equal to the annual energy consumption of more than 60,000 average Missouri homes.
