Express Efficiency Program
This unique program offers SCE business customers generous cash rebates toward the purchase and installation of qualified equipment that improves their facility's energy efficiency.
High-efficiency equipment is key to lowering your energy costs and reducing your energy use. SCE's Express Efficiency Program is designed specifically to help you obtain high-efficiency equipment.
How The Program Works
SCE business customers can apply for rebates on the purchase and installation of qualifying equipment that improve the energy efficiency of their businesses in the following areas:
Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for complete details.
New equipment must replace existing equipment. Certain retrofits and upgrades also qualify for rebates. All equipment must be new, whether used to replace, retrofit or upgrade existing equipment.
Incentives are offered on a per-item basis and limited to 100% of installed equipment cost. To learn the rebate value of each item please refer to the qualified itemized measures list.
Rebates are paid on leased equipment if the equipment is acquired through either a lease-purchase agreement or a standard lease with a term of three or more years.
Mandatory inspection of installed equipment is required for incentive rebates totaling $7,000 or more. Random inspections are at the discretion of SCE.
What You'll Receive
You can choose to have your Express Efficiency rebate paid directly to your business in the form of a check or as a credit toward your SCE bill. You may also designate a third-party payee, also referred to as the Project Sponsor. The amount of the rebate depends upon the itemized measure installed. Rebates are available through December 31, 2008. Applications must be postmarked by December 14, 2008.
Who Can Participate
Any SCE business customer (non-residential), regardless of size or monthly electricity use can participate in the Express Efficiency program by completing a Business Incentives and Services Application.
Rebates are paid on a first-come, first-served basis until the deadline expires or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first.
