This service is for all commercial customers, regardless of energy use.

- $0.06 per kWh for lighting projects
- $15 per Gigajoule (GJ) for natural gas projects
- Up to 50% of the eligible project costs, up to $100,000 per project, per fuel type. This means participants can receive up to a maximum of $100,000 in incentives for electricity savings, and a maximum of $100,000 for natural gas savings.
