More Utilities Offer Rebates And Other Cash Incentives To Slash Energy Usage

By: Jim Lucy, EW

The electrical wholesaling industry can once again count on utility rebates to spark sales of energy-efficient electrical products. According to “Rebate Resource,” a feature story in this month’s Electrical Wholesalingmagazine, more than 50 electrical utilities, government agencies and public utility commissions now offer rebate programs and related financial incentives for end users that install energy-saving building systems.

Rebate programs help end users design new buildings and retrofit inefficient buildings with energy-efficient lighting systems, motors, efficient coolers, HVAC systems and insulation. They help utilities, too, because in many regions of the United States, it’s tough for them to meet the electrical power needs of customers during periods of peak demand. Two options that utilities have to meet these power demands are building new capacity or enticing customers to cut their energy usage with financial incentives if they install energy-efficient electrical systems, HVAC equipment and other building systems and components.
