ConEd (Electric) - Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program

Con Edison offers cash rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient equipment like HVAC systems, refrigeration, lighting, and building controls in your commercial building. To get started, submit an interest form and work with a participating contractor to apply for incentives—the specific rebate amounts depend on your equipment type and are detailed in the Program Manual. Projects must be completed by the stated deadline to lock in incentive rates, and financing options with rates as low as 0% are available.

You can help commercial and industrial customers access rebates by installing eligible equipment including HVAC, refrigeration, lighting controls, chillers, boilers, and custom efficiency measures—participating contractors install all qualifying equipment and projects may be inspected before payment. Register as a participating contractor, ensure customers meet eligibility requirements (typically over 100 kW peak demand for electric measures), and note that incentives are first-come, first-served, capped at $500,000 per contractor, and not guaranteed until a Preliminary Incentive Offer Letter is issued.

This rebate program incentivizes commercial and industrial customers (and small businesses with 100–300 kW peak demand) to upgrade to efficient equipment through fixed prescriptive rates and custom incentives based on kWh/therm savings; funding is limited and distributed first-come, first-served with a $500K cap per participating contractor. Key mechanics include application submission windows, pre- and post-installation inspections, third-party contractor requirements, and geographic bonuses (e.g., $2,000/kW in Southeast Queens). The program targets Con Edison's directly metered commercial electric customers in good standing within the eligible service area.
