Appalachian Power (Electric)- Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Program

This program is designed for non-residential customers (businesses, farms, and government facilities) in Appalachian Power's Virginia service area, not homeowners. Residential customers should explore other Appalachian Power efficiency programs.

Appalachian Power's non-residential programs offer three pathways to help your customers: the Business Energy Solutions Program (up to $25,000 per lighting project and $25,000 per non-lighting project), the Small Business Direct Install Program (turnkey upgrades with no upfront cost to qualifying small businesses), and the Custom Incentive Program ($0.04/kWh for lighting, $0.09/kWh for non-lighting). Contact the program administrator to confirm eligibility and discuss how to structure projects for maximum incentive capture across eligible technologies like HVAC, motors, refrigeration, and industrial systems.

Three complementary tracks serve different customer segments: Business Energy Solutions caps incentives at $25,000 per project type (lighting/non-lighting) with a $50,000 total; Small Business Direct Install removes customer barriers through direct installation; Custom Program pays performance-based incentives (kWh savings basis). Eligible sectors include commercial, industrial, federal government, and agricultural operations in Appalachian Power's Virginia service territory. Performance-based custom track reduces administrative burden by tying incentives to verified energy reductions rather than prescriptive equipment lists.
