Energy Cost-Saving Opportunities for Businesses

Taking advantage of energy incentives can help make your business more competitive, save money on energy bills, scale up your operations, and reduce your environmental footprint.

I’m interested in generating renewable energy

Generating your own renewable energy can help you save money on purchasing electricity, make your business more energy-independent from grid instability, and reduce company emissions to meet sustainability goals. New incentives help make it more affordable to:

• Install solar panels at your business
• Build energy storage to save excess energy for later

I’m interested in upgrades that save energy costs

Upgrade your commercial and multifamily building spaces with the latest technologies to increase efficiency, modernize your space, and cut energy bills. It’s now more affordable than ever to:

• Install energy-saving building envelope upgrades such as insulation, windows, and exterior doors
• Improve heating and cooling systems with efficient HVAC and hot water systems
• Make energy-efficiency lighting upgrades
• Build new efficient commercial and residential buildings

I’m interested in electric vehicles or EV chargers

Electric vehicles typically have lower lifecycle costs than traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles due to lower fuel and maintenance costs.  Making the swap to electric vehicles can also create cleaner air in your community and reduce your company's pollution.

Take advantage of incentives to help you:

• Purchase or lease an electric vehicle
• Install electric vehicle charging equipment

I'm interested in clean manufacturing

New incentives can support manufacturing facility upgrades for projects that reduce industrial emissions or produce components of eligible clean energy equipment or electric vehicles.

What do these incentives mean for my clean energy business?

Many companies sell or install energy-efficient and clean energy products that qualify for new tax credits. Teaching your customers about incentives they can use when installing or purchasing these products will lower their costs and give you a competitive advantage while not costing your business any money.

If your business works in the following industries, you may be well suited to encourage your customers to take advantage of new incentives:

• Construction or management of commercial buildings
• Construction or management of single-family or multifamily buildings
• Appliance installation or sales, including heating and cooling equipment, kitchen appliances, windows, doors, insulation, lighting, and water heating
• Electrical services
• Renewable energy generation
• Vehicle sales
• Electric vehicle charging infrastructure
