Energy Trust of Oregon would like to notify active Existing Buildings, New Buildings, Business Lighting, and Multifamily trade allies of the status of the $200,000 Commercial Business Development Funds budget.

Commercial BDF has currently reimbursed $190,244.83 out of the $200,000 total 2026 budget, leaving roughly $10,000 remaining for the year

Once the budget has been fully utilized, no additional applications will be approved until the Commercial BDF refreshes its annual allocation on January 1, 2027.

All BDF projects and training reimbursements require pre-approval. Pre-approval confirms project and training eligibility but does not reserve funds. Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that final invoices must be submitted within 60 days of pre-approval and within 15 days of release of marketing projects or training/event dates.

To apply, please fill out this Commercial BDF application. For detailed Commercial BDF guidelines, review the Commercial BDF page.
