Manager, Energy Efficiency Programs
PY7 Standard/Custom Status
Thank you for your hard work in PY7! In the first 9 months, we
received approximately $32 million of application requests for
Standard and Custom incentives. This is $7 million more than the paid
applications received in the previous program year.
As a result, the $28 million available for PY7 Standard and Custom
incentives has been reserved or paid out.
PY7 incentive budgets for Small Business Energy Savings and
Business Instant Lighting Discounts (BILD) programs have also been
depleted. Incentives for PY8 will be available 6/1/15.
