Rebates and Incentives

  • PG&E Business Rebates and Incentives
    PG&E offers rebates to commercial, industrial, and agricultural business customers who install qualifying energy efficient products. Rebates are available for the replacement of specific products in existing operational facilities.
  • Customized Retrofit Incentives
    Known as Non Residential Retrofit (NRR) or Customized Retrofit Program for Business. Save energy and money with PG&E’s customized incentives for business energy efficiency retrofit projects involving the installation of high-efficiency equipment or systems. Businesses that install energy-saving equipment are rewarded with cash payments, based on the actual annual kWh or therm savings that are achieved.
  • New Construction Incentives (Savings by Design)
    Savings by Design is a program offered by PG&E to encourage high-performance new building design and construction for commercial buildings. The program offers building owners and their design teams a wide range of services, such as Design Assistance, Design Team Incentives, Owner Incentives, and an educational resource, energy design resources.
  • New Efficiency Options (NEO)
    PG&E's New Efficiency Options (NEO) helps you upgrade to the latest in high-efficiency lighting and HVAC technologies. Participating customers receive cash incentives and expert technical support to help optimize energy and cost savings.
  • Retrocomissioning (RCx)
    Retrocommissioning (RCx) is a systematic process for identifying less-than-optimal performance in a facility’s existing equipment and control systems and making necessary repairs or enhancements to save energy and cost. Whereas retrofitting involves replacing outdated equipment, RCx focuses on improving the efficiency of what is already in place.
  • Demand Response
    PG&E's demand response programs are designed to enable customers to contribute to energy load reduction during times of peak demand. The demand response programs offer incentives for business owners who curtail their facility's energy use during times of peak demand.
