Quick payback

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing high-efficiency equipment at a similar price to standard is a quicker payback. These solutions save energy and money every day, so when the upfront costs are comparable, they quickly pay for themselves.

Who is eligible?

All projects involving Energy Trust (Pacific Power and Portland General Electric) commercial, industrial and multifamily customers are eligible to receive discount pricing through Energy Trust Business Lighting. Multifamily tenant spaces, new construction, building expansion and major renovation projects that trigger code are not eligible for an incentive through this offer. Qualifying lighting must be installed and operated at the eligible customer’s facility or premise within 90 days of purchase.

Discounts received through the Instant Discounts for Business Lighting offer may not be combined with other Energy Trust incentives such as the Business Lighting standard offer or New Buildings program. Confirm the project’s scope of work to determine which program and offer best suits your project’s needs.
