Partnering in Energy
Solutions
How Partnering Works
1) Step One: Customer Interest
A customer wants to do something based on
information received by RPU. An RPU representative
will work with the customer to identify an
ESP.
2) Step Two: Pre-Construction Consultation
or Walk-Through
At the start of designing a new facility or
other new construction projects, the ESP works
with the customer to assess energy use and
specify the installation of energy efficient
appliances and equipment. This pre-planning
not only guarantees that the customer’s
business will be operating efficiently, but
ensures that the new installations, if applicable,
will be eligible for RPU’s Conserve
& Save rebates.
–OR–
The ESP does a walk-through and provides an
estimate for an audit or assessment.

3) Step Three: Audit or Assessment
Upon the customer’s approval, the ESP
completes the audit or assessment.
If the customer completes or installs
an identified opportunity in the audit or
assessment, RPU will give them a 25% rebate
on the cost of the audit or assessment.
4) Step Four: Project Proposal
The ESP provides the customer with the audit
or assessment results along with a proposal
to complete related improvement projects (if
applicable). The ESP will include line items
for Conserve & Save rebate amounts in
this proposal.
5) Step Five: Financing
If needed, financing may be available to the
customer through RPU for qualifying projects
completed by an ESP. This will allow the customer
to pay for the project on their utility bill
over a one to two year period. For more details,
contact an RPU representative.
6) Step Six: Project Completion
Upon the customer’s approval, the project
is completed.
A) The customer pays the ESP directly, and
the ESP provides RPU with completed rebate
application(s), –OR–
B) If the project is financed, the ESP will
provide RPU with the final invoice along with
the completed rebate application(s).
