As a reminder, all current lighting measures and incentives are inactive starting July 1, 2025. Energy Trust will relaunch its Business Lighting offers with updated incentives and measures to comply with HB2531, which bans the sale of most fluorescent lighting, along with new legislation, HB2307, that exempts schools until 2030. Instant discounts through participating distributors will relaunch in mid-July and standard (downstream) offers are slated to relaunch with a new Lighting Tool in mid-August.
Rest assured that most measures will remain in place and there will be incentives available for new 2025 and 2026 projects! There will also be schools-specific incentives. All of this and more will be covered at the seminars.
Please contact your account manager if you have questions about projects submitted before July 1. If you have general questions, please reach out to lighting@energytrust.org or call 1.800.326.2917.
We hope to see you at one of the seminars!
