Building Decarbonization

Upgrade to High-Efficiency Electric Equipment

Building decarbonization provides enhanced incentives to help business customers replace fossil fuel equipment with high-efficiency electric technologies. Incentives support heat pumps for space heating, cooling and domestic hot water, as well as eligible electrical service and wiring upgrades required to accommodate new electric load.

By participating, customers can:

  • Replace aging fossil fuel equipment with efficient electric technologies
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with building operations
  • Improve system efficiency and performance
  • Offset upfront project costs through available incentives

  • Projects must be pre-approved before purchasing equipment. Existing fossil fuel systems must be present during pre-inspections, and pre-inspections (virtual or on-site) are required for all projects.
    • Completed projects without pre-approval are not eligible.
  • Submit documentation of existing equipment and conditions.
  • Fossil fuel systems must be replaced and decommissioned
    • Ex: Gas furnace, oil boiler, gas water heater, etc.
    • Exception: If fossil fuel systems are retained as back-up, integrated controls must be installed

  • Electrical upgrades are eligible only when installed concurrently with at least one qualifying electrification measure under the program. Standalone electrical upgrades are not eligible
  • Incentives are capped at 75% of the electrical upgrade costs not to exceed the program per-account cap of $6,500. For example, if a customer submits two
    applications for the same account, the wiring upgrade would be capped at $6,500 combined
  • To qualify one of the following must be met:
    • Revised load must exceed 80% of service rating; or
    • Revised load exceeds available capacity per NEC load calculation; or
    • No available breaker space for required dedicated circuit; or
    • Licensed electrician certifies upgrade is required to accommodate new load
  • Eligible components:
    • Panel replacement
    • Service size increase
    • Meter base upgrade
    • Main breaker replacement
    • Required feeder wiring
    • Required dedicated circuits for new electrified equipment
