Customized Solutions

Energy Trust contracts with industrial process engineers—called Program Delivery Contractors—throughout the state to conduct comprehensive studies and determine the most cost-effective energy improvements for your facility. To get started, find and contact the Program Delivery Contractor who serves your facility.

Energy Trust offers cash incentives, calculated on an individual case-by-case basis for a wide range of energy-efficient process upgrades such as lighting, drives, insulation, heating and cooling, pumps, motors, compressed air, refrigeration/cold storage, process equipment and more. The guidelines for the incentive calculations are based on the results of the technical analysis study.

For custom process or production equipment projects, Energy Trust incentives will pay up to $0.25/annual kWh or $2.00/annual therm saved, up to 50 percent of eligible project costs.

Energy Trust provides cash incentives to Oregon businesses for energy efficiency and renewable power projects. To qualify, you must be an Oregon customer of Portland General Electric, NW Natural, Pacific Power or Cascade Natural Gas.
