Each year, Energy Trust reviews incentives for cost effectiveness. We also add new incentives during this annual process. The following updates apply to Energy Trust Existing Buildings and New Buildings projects in Southwest Washington, and unless otherwise noted, will go into effect on January 1, 2019.
