2019 Utility Program Changes
February 06, 2019
As the new year rings in, one thing is for certain: utility rebate programs are changing...a lot. Closed programs are reopening, new incentives are available, and even altering standards to qualify for rebates. We’ve compiled a list of things to keep in mind when you’re working with utility programs to get rebate estimates - especially at the start of the year.
1. Changes to individual product type
2. New incentives for products that weren’t previously offered
3. Changing qualification standards
4. Entire rebate program changing
5. Overhauling the rebate submission process
6. Rebate amount changes (some could be more or less)
7. Products removed altogether
8. Eligibility requirements
9. How the rebate is calculated
10. Rebate max caps (read more about this here: https://blog.encentivenergy.com/news/know-comes-utility-rebates)
