Detailed requirements for lighting incentive programs summarized on our SUB Energy Efficiency Incentives 2023 (PDF).
LED Lighting & Controls Incentives
LED Lighting and Controls incentives are available based on the SUB Lighting Calculator v 6.0 (XLS). Contact SUB for assistance, or you may download, fill out and submit the Lighting Calculator (LC) to SUB. SUB will review and may change your LC inputs to conform to standard practice. Note that total incentives from the LC greater than $10,000 will be reduced by the formulas below.
Calculated Adjusted Incentive
Standard Incentive amounts from the SUB Lighting Calculator will be adjusted by the following formulas:
| Range of Standard Incentive | Formula for Adjusted Incentive |
|---|---|
| $0 to $10,000 | No change to Standard Incentive |
| $10,000 to $50,000 | $5,000 + 50% × Standard Incentive |
| $50,000 to $200,000 | $20,000 + 20% × Standard Incentive |
| $200,000 to $400,000 | $40,000 + 10% × Standard Incentive |
SUB pays the calculated Adjusted Incentive. This applies cumulatively to all SUB incentive projects of all types at one location for 2 years.
