Nebraska Public Power District - Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Programs

Nebraska Public Power District offers rebates for commercial and industrial facilities that upgrade to energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems, geothermal heat pumps, water heaters, and other equipment; lighting incentives apply only to existing construction, and projects exceeding $5,000 require pre-approval from the utility. Visit the program website to review available rebate amounts, download brochures, and submit an application for your eligible project.

NPD's commercial rebate program covers a range of technologies including LED lighting, variable frequency drives, heat pumps, and custom HVAC solutions, with prescriptive rebates for standard measures and a custom lighting option for non-standard projects. All projects over $5,000 require pre-approval and custom lighting projects over $5,000 also need pre- and post-inspections; facilities are capped at $100,000 in annual incentives without additional pre-approval, and contractors should reference the program brochure and application materials on NPD's website.

The EnergyWise commercial rebate program, sponsored by Nebraska Public Power District in partnership with wholesale utility customers, provides prescriptive and custom incentives for lighting, HVAC, geothermal, water heating, variable drives, and processing equipment across commercial, industrial, local government, nonprofit, and state/federal facilities. Pre-approval is required for projects exceeding $5,000 and custom lighting over that threshold requires pre- and post-inspections; annual incentive caps of $100,000 per facility are enforced, with additional pre-approval needed for higher amounts. Program mechanics and detailed eligibility criteria are documented in program brochures available on the utility's website.
