PG&E - Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Rebates

PG&E's Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Rebates support commercial, industrial, agricultural, and school customers upgrading to efficient equipment like HVAC systems, commercial refrigeration, insulation, water heating, and laundry systems. To obtain rebates, browse PG&E's Business Rebate Catalog by product category, confirm your equipment qualifies, and submit documentation through PG&E's application process—specific rebate amounts and procedures are detailed in the catalog PDFs for each technology.

This program creates customer opportunities across multiple sectors: HVAC upgrades (which consume 40–50% of commercial building energy), refrigeration for food service and retail, agricultural equipment, and specialty systems like ozone laundry and pipe insulation. Contractors should direct customers to download the industry-specific rebate catalogs, verify equipment meets PG&E specifications, and assist with rebate applications; PG&E also offers third-party programs like the Agriculture Energy Savings Action Plan (managed by TRC Companies) and Industrial System Optimization Program (via Cascade Energy) that bundle technical support with incentives.

PG&E administers rebates across commercial, industrial, agricultural, and school sectors through a catalog-based system with product-specific requirements and exclusions. The program leverages third-party implementers (TRC Companies for agriculture, Cascade Energy for industrial optimization) to deliver technical assistance and flexible financing alongside rebates. Funding and target metrics align with California's non-residential efficiency goals, covering major energy loads (HVAC, refrigeration, motors, and insulation) and specialized applications in food processing and agriculture to reduce statewide energy consumption.
