Reading Municipal Light Department - Business Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Reading Municipal Light Department offers rebates for energy efficiency upgrades including solar systems at $1,200 per kW (up to $24,000 for systems under 20 kW), heat pumps up to $6,000, LED lighting, and EV chargers up to $1,500 per station. You must be an RMLD customer and get preapproval; rebates cover up to 50% of installed costs depending on the upgrade type. Visit RMLD's website or contact them directly to apply and learn specific eligibility requirements for your project.

RMLD's commercial rebate programs provide your customers with substantial incentives: solar at $1,200/kW (capped at $120,000), heat pumps at $1,000 per ton (max $6,000), custom efficiency measures up to $50,000, and EV chargers up to $1,500 per unit. All projects require RMLD preapproval and must meet Energy Star or equivalent efficiency standards; review RMLD's program requirements document to ensure customer eligibility and compliance before installation.

RMLD administers rebates across six main categories (solar, heat pumps, custom efficiency, EV chargers, new construction, and LED holiday lighting) with incentive caps ranging from $500 to $120,000 and rebate percentages up to 50% of installed costs. The program targets RMLD's non-residential customer base (some programs limit to facilities under 5,000 sq ft) and requires administrative preapproval for solar projects; funding availability may result in program modification or termination per the December 2024 program guidelines.
