Benton PUD - Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Energy Efficiency Rebate Programs
Administered by Benton PUD
Benton PUD's Commercial Energy Efficiency Program (CEEP) provides rebates to reduce your business energy costs through lighting upgrades, heating system improvements like ductless heat pumps (up to $1,000 per ton for retrofit), connected thermostats ($150 each), agricultural irrigation upgrades, and custom efficiency projects. To participate, schedule a pre-installation audit with Benton PUD, submit your application and required documents to conservation@bentonpud.org, receive authorization, complete the work, and then schedule a post-installation inspection—once approved, you'll receive your rebate check.
You can help commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers access Benton PUD rebates by submitting pre-authorization applications including AHRI certificates (for heat pumps) or using the BPA Lighting Calculator for lighting projects; all work requires prior Benton PUD approval and post-installation inspection to qualify for incentives. Key requirements include: lighting projects must reduce kilowatt-hours by 25% or more, ductless heat pumps must meet specified HSPF2 efficiency standards, and all materials must comply with environmental disposal rules—contact Kevin Fisher at (509) 582-1234 or conservation@bentonpud.org with questions.
The Commercial Energy Efficiency Program targets Benton PUD's non-residential customer base (commercial, industrial, agricultural, and federal government sectors) with rebates funded through the utility's energy conservation budget; lighting and heating incentives use standardized tools (BPA Calculator, AHRI certificates, QPL lists), while industrial and agricultural custom projects are evaluated individually with a partnership option through Cascade Energy. The program requires pre- and post-installation audits, prior authorization for all projects, and proof of completion through itemized invoices and inspection reports before rebate issuance; funding is limited and program details are subject to change.
