Energy Trust offers cash incentives for investing in energy-efficient lodging and foodservice equipment including high-efficiency motion sensor nightlights, package terminal heat pumps, high-efficiency gas fryers, gas convection ovens, electric steamers, freezers, refrigerators, vent hoods, ice machines and other approved equipment.

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.
