To stay current on lighting trends and provide cost-effective incentives, Energy Trust periodically adjusts commercial and industrial lighting incentives and the lighting tool.
Form 190L and the lighting tool was released to trade allies for review in late June, and new incentives will be effective August 1, 2016.

Projects received by Energy Trust without an incentive agreement request or necessary documentation prior to close of business on July 31, 2016, will be subject to the updated incentives. Projects which we determine are not yet “sold,” or those with missing or inaccurate utility account information, received on or after August 1 will be returned without an incentive agreement and subject to the new incentives.
