Summary:
The NYSERDA Existing Facilities program merges the former Peak Load Reduction and Enhanced Commercial and Industrial Performance programs. The new program offers a broad array of different incentives to electricity customers within the state that pay the System Benefits Charge (SBC). Natural gas customers of Con Edison who pay the monthly rate adjustment (MRA) and small customers of National Fuel that use less than 12,000 Mcf per year are also eligible for certain incentives. Energy service companies (ESCOs) that implement efficiency measures for eligible customers are likewise eligible. Both pre-qualified equipment rebates and performance based rebates are offered under this program, as described below.
Pre-qualified Measures
The pre-qualified equipment category is designed to support comparatively small electric and natural gas efficiency projects through fixed $/unit equipment rebates. The general technologies covered by the pre-qualified designation are as follows: lighting, HVAC, chillers, motors, variable frequency drives, natural gas equipment, refrigeration, commercial kitchen equipment, and commercial washing equipment. Rebates for pre-qualified natural gas equipment are only available to Con Edison and National Fuel customers. Pre-qualified applications should be sent within 90 days of the invoice for purchase and installation of the equipment. The maximum incentive available under this category is $30,000 per project for ConEd customers.
Performance-based Incentives
This category of incentives is generally oriented towards large improvement projects. Performance incentives are available for electric efficiency, energy storage, natural gas efficiency, demand response, combined heat and power (CHP), and industrial process efficiency. Performance incentives are awarded as one-time payments based on the expected first-year savings offered by a given improvement. Customers of Con Edison are generally eligible for higher incentives than customers of other utilities. Each category of performance incentive is governed by a distinct set of eligibility limits, incentive limitations, equipment requirements, and other rules. Some of the basic program rules are described in the fields above this summary.
The general deadline for applications under this program is June 30, 2010; however, some natural gas performance incentives expire at earlier dates. Please consult the program website for additional rules and application information or click here and see PON 1219 for additional program contacts (e.g., CHP, ConEdison incentives).
