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 Multifamily and New Multifamily projects in Southwest Washington. Unless otherwise noted, they will go into effect on January 1, 2019. Incentives which are not included in the list below will remain unchanged on January 1, 2019. These updates do not apply to other Energy Trust programs.
