For Your Business

From small storefronts to large manufacturing facilities, the right energy efficiency measures can make any size business more productive, efficient and competitive. Here are some of the programs available through the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund. As described under each program, eligibility may depend on whether your electric distribution utility is Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) or The United Illuminating Company (UI).

Energy Conscious Blueprint

For customers planning new buildings, remodeling or large renovation projects, this program can reduce capital and operating costs by helping evaluate energy–saving upgrades during the early planning stages.

Express Services

Through rebates, customers are encouraged to replace motors and heating/cooling equipment with newer equipment that provides the same—or sometimes better—service and comfort while lowering energy use. The rebates are fixed amounts, provided on a per–unit basis. They are paid directly to customers after they install pre–designated measures using qualified, licensed contractors.

• UI Customers

PRIME

For commercial & industrial customers with an average monthly peak demand of 350 kW to 1500 kW, CL&P offers the PRIME Audit, which provides an initial, no–cost, facility walk–through assessment with a comprehensive productivity audit, and, if necessary, a Focused Study.
