Business Lighting updates in 2023


Energy Trust of Oregon continuously reviews incentive types and amounts throughout each year, along with the overall performance of each of our programs. We update incentive amounts and requirements as needed to ensure we provide cost-effective energy savings to our customers and trade allies. Incentive amounts and availability may vary between Energy Trust programs, so it’s important that trade allies verify requirements, amounts, and availability when discussing incentives with customers.

Energy Trust’s Business Lighting team is happy to announce that increased incentives will be available on select products in the Standard offer. Updates effective January 23, 2023, include:
