Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Administered by Hawaii Energy
This program does not serve homeowners—it provides rebates exclusively for businesses installing energy-efficient equipment like HVAC systems, LED lighting, refrigeration, motors, and water heaters across Hawaii's islands (Hawaii, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu). Contact Hawaii Energy directly to learn rebate amounts and eligibility for your specific business equipment.
Hawaii Energy offers rebates for a wide range of commercial and industrial efficiency upgrades—HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, compressed air systems, building envelope improvements, and custom projects—provided equipment meets program efficiency and installation standards. All incentive amounts and eligibility are subject to change; contact Hawaii Energy to confirm rebate values and requirements before quoting customers, and use their provided worksheets (lighting and non-lighting) to estimate savings for custom projects.
Hawaii Energy, administered by Leidos Engineering under contract with Hawaii's Public Utilities Commission, delivers ratepayer-funded rebates for commercial and industrial energy efficiency across five islands, targeting businesses of all sizes with prescriptive measures (HVAC, lighting, motors, refrigeration, water heating) and custom engineering support; new construction is ineligible, and all incentives remain discretionary and subject to PUC approval.
