PSE’s Business Lighting Incentive program provides incentives to PSE commercial customers converting older inefficient lighting to new efficient lighting. Lighting equipment covered by the program includes LED lamps, fluorescent lamp and ballast combinations, fixture conversion kits, new fixtures, and lighting controls.

The Business Lighting Incentive program requires Pre-Approval by PSE before the retrofit is started.

The forms below will allow you to apply for a PSE Business Lighting Incentive and check your eligibility to take advantage of the “no Pre-Approval” Business Lighting Express Option.

What is the Business Lighting Incentive for existing buildings?

• Projects are required to be submitted to PSE for pre-approval before any of the work has been done.
• Per item rebates: there are a limited number of basic lighting upgrades rebated on a per item basis.
• Custom Lighting Retrofits are paid up to $0.20/kWh saved with a cap of 50% of the installed cost.
• Projects that qualify as Enhanced Lighting Projects are paid up to $0.30/kWh saved with a cap of 70% of the installed cost.

Express Option

You may be eligible for the Express Option if you have a small project that uses only Basic Lighting Upgrades listed in the “per item rebates” section of the application form.

 

• Projects are NOT required to be submitted to PSE for Pre-Approval before any of the work has been done.
• Only Basic Lighting Upgrades (pre-defined lighting upgrades rebated on a per item basis) may be used.
• The total PSE Incentive is less than or equal to $3,000 (only $3,000 will be paid for projects submitted over $3,000).
• You have NOT applied for an Express Option rebate this calendar year.

Inspections

Customers must not unduly or unreasonably limit PSE’s ability to conduct any such inspections. Rebates that do not require pre-approval (Business Express) must be completed prior to rebate submission. PSE reserves the right to adjust the rebate amount based on inspection results.
