Sustainable Energy Utility - Commercial and Multifamily Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

DC Sustainable Energy Utility's instant commercial lighting rebates provide $5–$60 per fixture or lamp depending on product type, helping you reduce energy costs when upgrading to LED lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, or motors. Purchase energy-efficient products from a DCSEU Participating Distributor located in DC and receive your rebate at the point of sale.

DCSEU offers instant rebates on qualifying LED fixtures and lamps that you can pass directly to commercial and multifamily customers at the time of purchase, reducing customer acquisition costs and project payback periods. Partner with a DCSEU Participating Distributor, ensure projects are located in DC, and rebates are applied immediately—no complex application processes.

DCSEU delivers point-of-sale rebates through a network of DC-area lighting distributors, targeting commercial, multifamily residential, and low-income buildings with rebate schedules tiered by fixture type and lumens (ranging $5–$60 per unit through September 30, 2026). The program funds efficiency upgrades in lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, motors, and custom measures, contributing to the utility's broader goal of returning benefits to District ratepayers.
