Utility Managed Incentives

FSG manages the entire utility incentive process, from application through rebate capture, maximizing available funding while handling all paperwork, technical documentation, and compliance requirements. You get substantial cost reduction without the administrative burden.

WHAT ARE UTILITY MANAGED
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS?

Utility companies offer substantial rebates for energy efficiency projects, often covering 50-85% of eligible costs, to reduce grid demand and defer infrastructure investments. But navigating applications, technical requirements, and compliance can be complex and time-consuming. FSG manages the entire process. We identify available programs, handle all applications and documentation, coordinate inspections, and process rebates, ensuring you capture maximum funding without the administrative burden.

How FSG Manages the Incentive Process

Identify Available Programs
We know which utilities offer incentives in your territory, what measures qualify, and which programs deliver the highest returns for your specific project type.

Handle All Applications
We manage pre-approvals, technical documentation, engineering calculations, and compliance requirements, ensuring applications are complete and accurate the first time.

Coordinate Inspections
We schedule and manage utility verification visits, provide required documentation, and handle all communication with program administrators throughout the process.

Secure Payment
We process rebate payments and integrate incentive funding into your project financing, whether through reduced EaaS subscription costs, lower purchase prices, or direct rebate assignment.

Eligible Energy Efficiency Measures

Utility incentive programs typically cover a wide range of energy-saving technologies and upgrades:

  • LED lighting retrofits, controls, and automation systems
  • High-efficiency HVAC equipment and smart thermostats
  • Variable frequency drives (VFDs) for motors and pumps
  • Building automation and energy management systems
  • Compressed air system optimization
  • Refrigeration equipment upgrades
  • Water heating efficiency improvements
  • Custom engineered solutions and process improvements

Specific programs, eligibility requirements, and incentive levels vary by utility territory. FSG evaluates your facility location and planned improvements to identify all available funding sources and maximize total incentive capture.

Combine Utility Incentives with Other Funding Sources

Utility rebates can be layered with additional funding to further reduce project costs:

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)
Utility incentives reduce FSG's equipment costs, which lowers your monthly subscription payment. You get the benefit of incentives without managing the application process.

Federal Tax Credits
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar and energy storage, plus energy efficiency tax deductions under Section 179D. Utility incentives don't reduce tax credit eligibility.

State and Local Programs
Additional rebates, grants, or financing programs offered by state energy offices, municipal utilities, or regional authorities.

Traditional Financing
Incentives reduce the total amount financed, lowering monthly payments and improving project ROI when using conventional loans or equipment financing.

Why Utilities Pay for Your Energy Upgrades

Utility companies fund efficiency programs because reducing customer demand is cheaper than building new power plants and transmission infrastructure.

By incentivizing businesses to upgrade lighting, HVAC, and controls, utilities defer billions in infrastructure costs while meeting state and federal energy reduction mandates.

This creates a win-win: you get substantial funding for projects that reduce operating costs, and utilities avoid expensive capacity expansion. The programs are designed to be used—FSG ensures you capture every available dollar.
