Georgia Power - Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by Georgia Power Company
Georgia Power's Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program provides rebates for energy-efficient equipment upgrades like LED lighting, HVAC systems, water heaters, and food service equipment at your commercial facility. You must get preapproval before purchasing equipment and submit your application within 60 days of project completion; rebates are mailed within 6 weeks of receiving your final invoice. Rebate amounts vary by equipment type, with project caps ranging from $20,000 to $250,000 per building per year depending on the project category.
As a Participating Contractor, you can create accounts and submit rebate applications on behalf of your commercial customers, streamlining the process for projects involving existing building retrofits, new construction, or custom upgrades. You should guide customers to preapproval and ensure equipment meets program requirements; rebates are capped at 50% of equipment or project costs, with annual building maximums ranging from $20,000 to $250,000 across stackable project categories. Contact the program implementer ICF at 1-855-762-6732 or commercialsavings@southernco.com for details on participating in the network and accessing distributor instant-rebate opportunities.
The program serves Georgia Power commercial customers across all facility types—existing buildings, major renovations, and new construction—with preapproval-required prescriptive and custom rebates for lighting, HVAC, water heaters, and dozens of other equipment types. Annual rebate caps are stackable by project category (e.g., up to $100,000 for prescriptive projects and up to $250,000 for Custom Tier 3), with a 50% equipment-cost cap; Small Commercial Direct Install provides up to 70% cost-share for customers with peak demand ≤120 kW. The program is administered by ICF and funded through Georgia Power, with applications managed via the Commercial Rebate Application Center and supported by an established network of participating contractors and distributors.
