AI summary · 7/12/2026

As a SWEPCO commercial customer in Louisiana, you can participate in the Commercial Solutions Standard Offer Program to receive incentives for energy efficiency improvements like HVAC, lighting, and equipment upgrades that reduce your electricity consumption and summer peak demand. You can work with a qualified Project Sponsor/Market Actor (ESCO, contractor, or lighting/HVAC company) or manage the project yourself, and incentives are based on the energy and demand savings your measures achieve. Contact Kansas Cooley or visit the program website to enroll and learn which measures qualify for your facility.

The program is open to energy service companies, local contractors, lighting companies, and HVAC companies who can serve as Project Sponsors/Market Actors for eligible SWEPCO commercial customers in Louisiana. You'll develop and install energy efficiency measures that reduce electric consumption and summer daytime peak demand, and SWEPCO will pay incentives based on deemed or verified savings from your completed projects. To participate, register as a qualified Project Sponsor/Market Actor and submit applications that detail the qualifying measures and estimated savings for each customer site.

CSOL provides incentives to Project Sponsors/Market Actors (ESCOs, contractors, and equipment providers) for new construction and retrofit energy efficiency measures at non-residential facilities in SWEPCO's Louisiana service territory, with compensation based on deemed or verified demand and energy savings. Eligible participants include any SWEPCO commercial customer not previously enrolled and any entity installing qualifying measures; the program targets summer daytime peak demand reduction and electric energy consumption savings across most qualifying efficiency measures. Program enrollment and resource materials are managed through SWEPCO's website, with Kansas Cooley listed as the primary contact for enrollment and technical assistance.

Program summary

The Commercial Solutions Standard Offer Program (CSOL) provides incentives for new construction and retrofit installation of a wide range of measures that reduce demand and save energy at eligible facilities in SWEPCO's Louisiana service territory.

Eligibility
Any SWEPCO commercial customer that owns or operates a site and has not previously qualified for or elected to participate in CSOL is eligible to host an energy efficiency project. The project may be developed by a qualified Project Sponsor/Market Actor or the customer can choose to sponsor the project independently.

These entities may include national or local energy service companies (ESCOs), local contractors, lighting companies and HVAC companies. An eligible project is defined by the set of qualifying energy efficiency measures and the estimated demand and energy savings included in a single application.
