Pasadena Water and Power - Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Pasadena Water & Power’s Business Rebate Program offers a straightforward way for commercial customers to receive rebates on energy-efficient equipment. The process is simple: purchase and install eligible equipment, submit an application with the required documentation (such as receipts, product specs, proof of installation, and W‑9), and receive a rebate check—typically within six weeks.

The program caps rebates at $24,000 per metered commercial electric service account per fiscal year (July–June), and the total rebate—including any bonuses—cannot exceed 25% of the total project cost, including parts and labor. Eligible rebates cover a wide variety of upgrades, including LED lighting and sensor controls, variable frequency (speed) drives, window film installation, HVAC systems, heat pump water heaters and dryers, restaurant equipment, and more. For businesses working on more complex or custom efficiency projects not listed in the standard catalog, a Customized Incentive Program is available—but requires pre-approval before purchasing or installation.
