Business Programs • Comprehensive business solutions
– Rebates based on amount of each project’s first year savings for lighting, HVAC, insulation, hot water heating, controls and other energy savings projects.
• Small business solutions – Designed to help small commercial and industrial customers, typically
considered "hard to reach” using less than 400,000 kWh annually
8
Comprehensive Business Solutions
There are two types of Incentives: • Prescriptive incentives
– Think “off the rack,” get it and go • You install energy efficient equipment and achieve energy
savings and pre-determined incentive levels
– Incentives typically average 20% to 50% of the incremental cost of purchasing qualifying technologies
• Custom incentives – Think “tailored,” custom fit to your business
• Incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis • Must have a greater than one-year payback period and less
than eight years
9
Small Business Solutions
• Objectives: – Promote energy efficiency to small businesses – Achieve low installation costs and short payback periods – Minimize out-of-pocket costs to customers
• Target customers:
– <400,000 kWh annual electric usage – Commercial customers who typically would not participate in
the Consumers Energy Business Solutions Program due to: • Lack of capital dollars to make improvements • Lack of technical knowledge • Limited personnel and resources
10
Small Business Solutions
• Free facility assessment • Detailed project proposal from program • Installation of approved energy-saving equipment • Inspections will assure quality and verify energy
savings • Minimum hassle or time required • Reduction in energy consumption and costs • Higher incentives on a limited number of
measures • Up to $7,500 in incentives per customer
