PPL Electric Utilities - Business Incentive Program
PPL Electric's Business Incentive Program offers rebates for commercial, industrial, and agricultural energy projects including solar photovoltaics and combined heat & power systems, paying 8 cents per kilowatt-hour of energy saved based on annual performance verification. To apply, submit a service and interconnection application plus a signed Interconnection and Integration Request (IIR) document to Businessaccounts@pplweb.com for pre-approval before installation.
This program incentivizes solar and CHP projects at 8 cents per kWh of verified annual savings, with customers responsible for providing production estimates and consumption data that PPL will verify before final approval. Pre-approval requires your customer to submit interconnection applications and execute an IIR document with PPL Electric; direct customer coordination through Businessaccounts@pplweb.com streamlines the vetting process based on the customer's displaced energy.
The program structure pays incentives based on verified annual energy savings (8 cents/kWh for solar and CHP; higher rates for prescriptive and custom projects), using customer-provided production and consumption data vetted against PPL's service territory application standards. New construction projects undergo Total Resource Cost analysis tied to displaced energy, with pre-approval requirements ensuring interconnection and integration readiness before incentive disbursement; the program targets commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers across PPL Electric's service area with potential offsets up to $500,000 per distributed energy resource installation.
