Summary:
Prospective applicants should contact their PPL Electric Utilities Key Account Manager before beginning any project. If applicants do not have one, they should contact the utility at the phone or email below.

To receive custom incentives, applicants should submit an application for a technical study to install measures not covered by any of PPL's other programs, such as the Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. PPL will rebate up to 50% of the Technical Study if the customer implements measures that lead to at least 50% of recommended identified electricity savings.

After the technical study, applicants can complete the Custom Incentive Application, install the measures, and expect payment six weeks after approval of the Commissioning Report. A site visit may be required, and incentives are based on projected savings for the first 12 months following installation.
