Save money now and for years
Modernize your business with new lighting and controls, and Chelan PUD will help you pay for it. Incentives are available for indoor and outdoor lighting upgrades.
LED lighting uses less energy, operates at lower temperatures so your cooling costs are reduced, is long lasting, and requires less maintenance—often the biggest source of savings for businesses.
LEDs also provide better quality light. Gone are the days of the yellow haze!
Incentives
Chelan PUD will help pay for the purchase and installation of energy-efficient lighting and controls.
Existing Buildings
$0.18 per kWh saved
You're upgrading lighting in an existing building
New Construction
$0.06 per kWh saved

Incentives are based on kWh savings determined using the Lighting Calculator and are capped at 75% of project costs. Calculated savings depend on your existing and proposed lighting energy use and the actual operating hours.
