Energy efficiency for small business customers with limited engineering resources and fixed budgets
The Standard Offer program provides rebates for technical energy audits and for the installation of measures identified through those studies.
Rebates are determined based on the bundle of measures to be installed versus evaluating each type of equipment separately. There is a 3-year period after installation where the savings and rebates are reconciled to verify the appropriate level of conservation has been attributed to the project.
This program is available to all business customers in Colorado but it is targeted at those working with an energy services company (ESCO) or engineering firm.
Rebates require preapproval prior to your committing to a study or any equipment installation.
Audit rebate: 50 percent of the cost of a technical energy audit
Conservation measures:
- $250 per kW in reduced electrical use
- 5 cents per kWh in electrical energy conserved
- $7 per decatherm in reduced natural gas use
