Saint Peter Municipal Utilities - Commercial & Industrial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by Saint Peter Municipal Utilities
This program is for commercial, industrial, and government facilities in Saint Peter, not residential homeowners. If you operate a business or nonprofit, you can receive rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems, motors, compressed air equipment, food service equipment, and other measures—each with specific efficiency requirements listed on the program's forms.
You can help your commercial and industrial customers access rebates for a wide range of equipment including air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, variable speed drives, chillers, and custom efficiency measures. Saint Peter Municipal Utilities requires that equipment meet minimum efficiency and performance ratings outlined in the program's technical forms; verify these specifications before installation to ensure customer eligibility.
Saint Peter Municipal Utilities, administered with support from the Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA), operates a rebate program for commercial, industrial, local government, nonprofit, state, and federal customers. The program covers lighting, HVAC, motors, variable speed drives, compressed air, refrigeration, food service, and custom measures—each with defined performance thresholds documented on application forms. Rebates appear as direct cash incentives (example: Nicollet County received $13,058 for Government Center upgrades), and the program is open to customers within Saint Peter's service territory.
