Energy Trust provides cash incentives to Oregon businesses for energy efficiency and renewable power projects. To qualify, you must:
- Be served by Portland General Electric or Pacific Power and contribute to the public purpose charge.* Check your bill or contact us if you have questions.
- Have a project site in Oregon.
- Be improving an existing structure.
* Large electric consumers of more than one average megawatt or 8,760,000 kilowatt-hours a year are subject to the Energy Trust Self-Direct Policy. Program services are limited and restrictions apply to self-directing consumers. Please refer to the Self-Direction FAQ or contact us for additional details.
Energy Trust offers cash incentives for both standard and custom projects, as well as solar projects.
Projects that feature non-custom equipment with easy installation can earn standard incentives. Qualifying projects can claim up to $500,000 per site, per year.
Projects that go beyond the standard incentive list may qualify for custom incentives. All custom projects must be pre-approved by Energy Trust. Custom incentives for projects involving non-lighting equipment are approved up to 35 percent of the total approved cost, not to exceed $0.20/annual kilowatt hours saved and $1/therm saved. The maximum incentive per site is $500,000 per year.
