For Existing Buildings, New Buildings, Business Lighting, and Multifamily trade allies, Energy Trust wants to provide an update on the $200,000 BDF budget.

As of April 15, Commercial BDF has reimbursed trade allies for $130,553 out of the $200,000 budget, leaving 35% remaining.

Active Commercial trade allies are eligible to receive up to $3,000 in reimbursement for eligible expenses through Commercial BDF. Trade allies that are COBID certified, serve rural areas, or are minority, veteran or women-owned businesses are eligible for up to $4,000 in reimbursement for eligible expenses.

All BDF projects and trainings require pre-approval. Pre-approval confirms 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.

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