Minnkota Power Cooperative (11 Utilities) - PowerSavers Commercial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
This program is designed for commercial, industrial, and federal government facilities, not residential homeowners. If you operate a business, contact your local cooperative or municipal utility to learn about prescriptive rebates for HVAC, lighting, food service equipment, and other efficiency upgrades, or submit a custom project application for technologies outside the standard offerings.
PowerSavers offers two pathways for your commercial clients: prescriptive rebates with set incentive amounts for common technologies like high-efficiency HVAC, LED lighting, variable speed drives, and food service equipment; and custom rebates for unique projects (agricultural, retail, school, or industrial) calculated on a $/kWh first-year savings basis, requiring pre-approval before equipment purchase. Work with the customer's local cooperative or municipal utility among the 11 participating providers in Minnkota's service territory.
PowerSavers is a portfolio of energy efficiency programs administered by Minnkota Power Cooperative and its 11 member cooperatives and municipals, serving commercial, industrial, school, and federal government customers. The program uses prescriptive incentives for standard technologies (HVAC, lighting, VFDs, food service equipment) and custom incentives based on first-year kWh savings calculations for non-standard projects, requiring prior approval for custom applications to control costs and verify savings.
