Energy expenses can be a significant expense for small businesses. Upgrading to energy-efficient equipment can lead to long-term savings. Energy Trust offers cash incentives to help lower the upfront cost of investing in high-efficiency equipment, so businesses can see a bottom-line benefit from the energy savings more quickly.
The following incentives are available to eligible small business customers served by a participating utility in Oregon or Southwest Washington. Review eligibility requirements before purchasing equipment.
