Program Summary
Ameren Illinois provides a wide range of financial incentives to help businesses reduce energy use, lower costs, and create safer, more efficient environments. These incentives support upgrades in lighting, HVAC systems, water-saving devices, weatherization, specialty equipment, and smart thermostats. Programs are available for both new construction and existing buildings, with options including networked lighting controls, ground source heat pumps, compressed air improvements, and high-efficiency food service and refrigeration equipment. In addition to rebates, Ameren Illinois offers technical assistance and optimization services such as retro-commissioning, virtual commissioning, energy monitoring, and strategic energy management.
