Pasadena Water and Power - Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Pasadena Water and Power's Business Rebate Program helps you recover costs on energy-efficient equipment purchases—from LED lighting and HVAC systems to heat pump water heaters and commercial kitchen upgrades. Apply after installation by submitting your receipt, product specs, proof of installation, and a W-9 form; you'll typically receive your rebate check within six weeks, capped at $24,000 per metered account per fiscal year (July–June) and not exceeding 25% of your total project cost.

You can help your commercial customers access substantial rebates on a wide range of efficiency upgrades including LED fixtures, variable frequency drives, window film, HVAC systems, heat pump equipment, and restaurant appliances—with specific rebate amounts listed for each technology. For more complex custom projects outside the standard catalog, advise customers to seek pre-approval through PWP's Customized Incentive Program before purchasing or installing equipment, and remind them that the total rebate cannot exceed 25% of the project cost including labor.

The Business Rebate Program operates on a straightforward post-installation model: eligible PWP commercial customers in good standing submit applications with documentation and receive rebate checks typically within six weeks. The program enforces a $24,000 annual cap per metered commercial account (fiscal year July–June) and a 25% project-cost ceiling to control spending; detailed rebate schedules cover LED lighting, controls, drives, HVAC, heat pumps, window film, and restaurant equipment, while a separate Customized Incentive Program (requiring pre-approval) serves non-standard projects. Funding is limited and amounts are subject to change at any time.
