Partnering in Energy Solutions

Partnering in Energy Solutions

Energy-efficient businesses make a big difference in our community’s energy consumption. For example, 253 commercial customers made energy-efficient improvements to their facilities in 2009. These improvements saved 14,367,289 kWh of electricity – equivalent to more than $1.4 million in energy costs – and earned them $815,897 in Conserve & Save® rebates!

RPU designed Partnering in Energy Solutions to encourage and assist area businesses in becoming more energy efficient. Through this program, RPU connects business owners with expert resources, or Energy Solutions Partners (ESPs), who:

  • Analyze the company’s current energy usage and future needs.
  • Propose cost-cutting changes in energy use.
  • Suggest energy-efficient upgrades to equipment.
  • Provide payback analyses of suggested improvements.
  • Assist with the purchase and/or implementation of improvements.
  • List and apply for all available RPU Conserve & Save rebates.

Financing may be available for qualifying energy-efficiency projects and/or green certification costs. Click here for more information.

All financing is based on availability of funds.

Maximum amount financed per project is $25,000. No interest fee is required on the payment. Payments are collected as part of the customer’s monthly utility bill.
