Kentucky Utilities Company and Louisville Gas & Electric- Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by Kentucky Utilities Company and Louisville Gas & Electric
This program is for commercial and industrial customers of Kentucky Utilities Company or Louisville Gas & Electric who pay a DSM charge on their monthly bills. You can receive rebates for energy efficiency upgrades like LED lighting, chillers, heat pumps, motors, and VFDs by completing an application before project completion and submitting an Installation Confirmation Form within 90 days after finishing work with proof of purchase and installation details. Rebates arrive by check within 45 days of the utility receiving your completed confirmation form.
You can help your commercial customers access rebates on a variety of energy efficiency measures including lighting, HVAC equipment, motors, and comprehensive building upgrades. Customers must submit a signed application with project details before work begins, and you'll need to help them gather documentation (proof of purchase, model numbers, manufacturer information, and operable dates) to submit within 90 days of completion for rebate processing.
The program serves LG&E and KU commercial and industrial customers paying into the DSM mechanism, with a custom option providing $0.03 per kilowatt-hour saved. Eligible customers submit pre-project applications and post-project Installation Confirmation Forms with supporting documentation; rebates are issued by check within 45 days of form receipt. Industrial customers who opt into the DSM mechanism must remain enrolled for a minimum 3-year period; gas-only LG&E customers are ineligible.
