New Hampshire Electric Co-op offers incentives to its commercial and municipal members to encourage energy efficiency when building a new facility, undergoing a major renovation, or replacing failed (end-of-life) equipment. The program offers prescriptive and custom rebates designed to cover the lesser of a one-year payback, or 75% of incremental difference in the cost of purchasing standard equipment compared to purchasing an energy-efficient equivalent, up to the member's incentive cap. Rebates are available for energy-efficient lighting and controls, energy-efficient motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), HVAC equipment and controls, chillers, and approved custom projects.
