Incentive Information

A. Pre-approval by SUB is required for your project to be eligible for incentives. Before removal of old equipment & purchase of new, SUB must verify pre-existing equipment, approve proposed equipment, & determine eligibility to accurately estimate your incentive, & to offer suggestions to maximize your incentive & cost savings. Final incentive amount is determined by verification of equipment at final inspection.
B. Standard Incentive amounts will be adjusted by the following formulas: if Standard Incentive is in this range: then Adjusted Incentive is Calculated by this formula:
$0 – $10,000 No change to Standard Incentive
$10,000 – $50,000 $5,000 + 50% × Standard Incentive
$50,000 – $200,000 $20,000 + 20% × Standard Incentive,
$200,000 – $400,000 $40,000 + 10% × Standard Incentive
SUB pays the calculated Adjusted Incentive. This applies cumulatively to all projects of all types at one location for 2 years that receive SUB incentives
C. Lighting incentives are determined using BPA’s Online Lighting Calculator (OLC) customized for SUB. Standard Incentives are subject to adjustment as stated above. Upgrades of existing fluorescent lighting utilize COMcheck as a baseline in the OLC as a New Construction project. Contact SUB to apply for lighting incentives or if you want access to the OLC for projects in Springfield and Glenwood.
D. Other Measures listed in BPA’s current Implementation Manual may be eligible for incentives. Please contact SUB for access to the Implementation Manual and to confirm availability & amount of incentive.
