For Large Commercial & Industrial

The right energy efficiency measures can make any size business more productive, efficient and competitive. Here are some of the programs available to large C&I through the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund. As described under each program, eligibility may depend on whether your electric distribution utility is Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) or The United Illuminating Company (UI).

Energy Conscious Construction/Energy Blueprint

For customers planning new buildings, remodeling or large renovation projects, this program can reduce capital and operating costs by helping evaluate energy–saving upgrades during the early planning stages.

Express Services

Through rebates, customers are encouraged to retrofit older lighting and replace motors and heating/cooling equipment with newer equipment that provides the same—or sometimes better—lighting and comfort while lowering energy use. The rebates are fixed amounts, provided on a per–unit basis. They are paid directly to customers after they install pre–designated measures using qualified, licensed contractors.

Custom Services

For electrical and HVAC needs, (CL&P) can identify specific needs and provide custom solutions – all at a substantial savings to you. Starting with a detailed Focused Study of your equipment and demand, (CL&P) can arrange for technical assistance and provide cash incentives to upgrade the efficiency of equipment. One–half of the study costs will be paid up front by (CL&P), and the customer’s 50 percent (50%) share will be refunded following the installation of the recommended energy–saving measures.
