Concord Municipal Light Plant - Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

The Concord Municipal Light Plant offers rebates for commercial energy efficiency upgrades including lighting retrofits (up to $1,000/kW or 50% of project costs), heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, solar panels (up to $3,125), and EV charging stations. The program also covers energy audits—100% of the cost for small businesses and 50% for medium and large businesses—to identify savings opportunities across HVAC, lighting, motors, and other systems.

CMLP's Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program accepts projects for lighting, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, solar, and Level 2 EV charging, with lighting rebates capped at the lesser of $1,000/kW of reduced demand or 50% of project costs, and solar rebates up to $3,125. Contractors can help customers leverage both CMLP and state incentives (particularly MassSAVE for natural gas-heated businesses) to offset hardware and installation costs substantially.

CMLP administers rebates for commercial and industrial sectors covering seven technology categories (lighting, solar, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, EV charging, weatherization, and other efficiency). The program subsidizes energy audits through Energy New England at 100% for G1 (small) customers and 50% for G2/G3 (medium/large) customers, with audits covering mechanical systems or lighting; rebates are project-specific with stated caps (lighting: $1,000/kW or 50% cost; solar: up to $3,125) and coordinate with state programs like MassSAVE for weatherization and EV incentives.
