Central Lincoln People's Utility District - Renewable Energy Incentive Program

Central Lincoln People's Utility District offers rebates for solar photovoltaic ($500/kW DC, up to $2,000), solar water heating ($800), wind ($500/kW DC, up to $2,000), and hydroelectric ($0.05/kWh per year, up to $2,000) systems—plus up to $2,000 toward battery storage when paired with a qualifying system. To get started, submit an Interconnection & Incentive Application before installation, and after your electrical inspection and net meter are installed, submit your Notice of Project Completion with required documents to receive your rebate on a first-come, first-served basis.

This rebate program requires you to help customers submit an Interconnection & Incentive Application with all required documents before construction begins; the customer must sign a Net Metering Agreement and accept that the system remains off until Central Lincoln installs a net meter and approves activation. Battery storage systems require 1 kW DC of generation capacity for every 5 kWh of storage, and you may perform brief testing only—the system must remain off until final approval to avoid service suspension or incentive denial.

This first-come, first-served rebate program funds solar PV, solar water heating, wind, hydroelectric, and battery storage systems for residential, commercial, nonprofit, federal, multifamily, and low-income customers. Rebates are $500/kW DC (solar PV and wind, $2,000 max), $800 (solar water heater), $0.05/kWh/year (hydroelectric, $2,000 max), and up to $2,000 for battery storage paired with any qualifying system. All systems require pre-installation technical review and net metering agreement; funding and incentive amounts are subject to change without notice.
