SMECO - Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

This program is designed for commercial, industrial, nonprofit, and institutional customers—not residential homeowners. If you operate a business facility in SMECO's service area, you can receive rebates covering up to 75% of incremental costs for energy-efficient upgrades like lighting, HVAC systems, building controls, and refrigeration equipment through prescriptive or custom programs. Contact SMECO at 866-235-6044 or visit their Business Solutions page to check eligibility and apply.

SMECO's Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Program allows you to serve commercial and institutional customers with prescriptive rebates for proven measures (lighting, HVAC, controls, refrigeration) and custom incentives for unique projects, with rebates covering up to 75% of incremental replacement costs. Customers choose their own service provider and must meet program equipment guidelines; SMECO also offers up to $5,000 in incentives for energy modeling and savings calculations to support project design. You can help customers apply through SMECO's Application Center or by contacting their Business Solutions team.

SMECO's Non-Residential Program operates two tracks: prescriptive rebates for standard measures (no engineering analysis needed) and custom incentives requiring engineering analysis for non-standard projects, both capping at 75% of incremental costs for equipment replacement in new construction and retrofits. The program serves commercial, industrial, municipal, institutional, agricultural, and government sectors across SMECO's service territory and is funded through a charge on customer energy bills as part of Maryland's EmPOWER program. Technical support includes up to $5,000 incentives for energy modeling; applications are processed through an online Application Center with customer service at 866-235-6044.
