ComEd Rebates and Incentives
In February, the Illinois Commerce Commission approved ComEd’s portfolio of energy-efficiency programs, opening the way for ComEd customers to save more than $155 million over the lifetime of the program.  

Beginning June 2008, business customers will be able to take advantage of the new programs, which will include commercial and industrial incentives including rebates/incentives on the following:

1. Lighting Retrofits
2. Motors
3. HVAC Equipment
4. Chillers

Commercial and industrial customers will receive cash back from ComEd for the implementation of these technologies.  These programs will give customers like you tools to take greater control of your energy bills while reducing the environmental impact of your energy usage.

Illinois Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) Rebates & Incentives
Incentives will be available to customers in Ameren and ComEd’s electric service areas.
While the ComEd incentives will apply to commercial and industrial customers, the DCEO will provide incentives for the public sector.

EPAct 2005 Tax Deduction
There is still time to realize the savings opportunities that the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) offers. With energy tax incentives of as much as $1.80 per square foot and the potential to save tens - or hundreds - of thousands of dollars on your energy costs, there will never be a better time to upgrade your lighting systems.


EPAct offers three types of tax deductions:
If you upgrade your lighting, HVAC/hot water, and building envelope to surpass the ASHRAE 90.1-2001 standard by 50%, you can take a one-time whole building tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot.

We can assist you in the preparation and distribution of the required documentation, which includes approved certificates for your buildings to take advantage of the schedule 179D filing. This is a one time tax deduction versus a depreciation of your capital expense in years 2006, 2007 and/or 2008.

Energy Saving Performance Contracts
Performance contracts can be the solution for municipalities, schools, hospitals and large facilities wishing to upgrade their energy infrastructure by paying for the project with guaranteed energy savings.

An Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) is an avenue that allows agencies to accomplish energy project for their facilities without upfront capital costs.  Contact us for more details.

An ESPC project is a partnership between the customer and an energy services company (ESCO).  The ESCO performs a comprehensive energy audit and identifies improvements that will save energy at the facility.  The ESCO designs a project that meets the agency’s needs and secures financing to pay for the project over the term of the contract.  After the contract ends, the additional cost savings go directly to the agency.  Contract terms up to 25 years are allowed.
