New Prague Utilities Commission - Commercial & Industrial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by New Prague Utilities Commission
This program is for commercial, industrial, nonprofit, and government facilities—not residential properties. If your organization operates a business or government building, you can receive rebates for upgrading to efficient lighting, HVAC systems (including heat pumps), motors, refrigeration, food service equipment, and other approved measures. Contact New Prague Utilities Commission at (952) 758-4401 or visit their website to download the rebate forms for your equipment type; each has specific efficiency requirements listed on the forms.
You can help your commercial and industrial customers access rebates for a wide range of equipment installations: lighting, geothermal and air-source heat pumps, chillers, variable frequency drives, compressed air systems, building controls, motors, food service equipment, and custom measures. All equipment must meet minimum efficiency and performance ratings detailed in the program forms available on New Prague Utilities' website; have customers work with you to confirm their equipment qualifies before submitting applications.
New Prague Utilities Commission, supported by SMMPA (a joint-action agency serving 17 municipal utilities in southern Minnesota), administers this commercial/industrial rebate program to drive facility energy efficiency across multiple sectors including local and state government and nonprofits. The program covers diverse technologies—HVAC, lighting, motors, refrigeration, and custom measures—each with documented minimum efficiency standards published in rebate forms; interested customers and contractors contact the utility directly to apply and verify eligibility.
