Does your project not fit in one our standard offers?

Custom project incentives are calculated on a case-by-case basis for non-standard technologies and are based on estimated first-year energy savings. So whether you operate a large industrial facility with a $60,000 monthly energy bill, a chain store or franchise, an office, school or municipal building, a farm, or anything in between, we can show you how to be more energy-efficient—and how to save on the cost of making improvements.

NEW for 2022! Non-Solar PV renewable projects, including Biogas, Biomass, Wind and Solar Thermal, are now eligible for Renewable Energy Custom Incentives. For more information, see the Custom Incentive Guide. 

Before purchasing equipment or proceeding with upgrades, you must be working with an Energy Advisor from Focus on Energy. Your advisor will help you to determine if your project qualifies for a Focus on Energy custom incentive and will help you obtain the necessary pre-approval.
