$50 per fixture for Advanced Networked Lighting Controls (ANLC).
$300 for Small Business Lighting (SBL) projects.
$500 for Very Small Business or Named Community Small Business Lighting projects.
We appreciated your outstanding participation in 2024. Let’s continue the program’s momentum with these great incentives:
Typical lighting retrofits and Midstream
Wattsmart Business Vendors receive the vendor incentive at a rate of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour saved for helping Pacific Power ® business customers in Washington save money with qualifying lighting upgrades. This vendor incentive offer is for the approved vendor and is in addition to the customer incentives available through Wattsmart Business. Pacific Power offers significant cash customer incentives up to 70% of eligible costs to help with the up-front expenses of your customer’s project. Get more details on our website.
How it works
For qualifying lighting projects, vendors receive the vendor incentive of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour annual energy savings, with a maximum vendor incentive of $5,000 per customer location in 2025. Each vendor location is eligible to receive $35,000 in total incentives in 2025. Vendor incentives are first come, first served, and the vendor incentive offer may terminate earlier than the eligibility timeline listed below if allocated funding is exhausted. The program will email the Wattsmart Business Vendor Network if the funds are exhausted.
Here are some examples of vendor incentives.

News about the positive impact of Wattsmart programs
Selling the value: Delivering success in a challenging market
In today’s economy, inflation has touched nearly every aspect of life—from everyday items to specialized equipment. As prices rise, convincing customers to invest in energy-efficient upgrades can be increasingly difficult. Projects can no longer rely solely on energy savings or payback periods to make the sale. It is essential to also focus on communicating the overall value proposition of their offerings.
To do this effectively, it’s crucial to highlight the reduced operational costs that come with energy savings, the potential for utility incentives, and the return on investment. However, perhaps the most compelling points to emphasize are the non-energy benefits. These include:
Positive effects on a building’s value
Occupant safety
Occupant comfort
Each project comes with unique benefits that go beyond energy savings, and understanding these customer-specific advantages and communicating their value will help offset concerns about rising project costs and market uncertainties.
Remember to position yourself as a knowledgeable partner who delivers solutions that address both the immediate needs and long-term goals of your customers. These strategies can help you overcome current market challenges and build stronger relationships while growing your business.
Imagine transforming your customer’s facility with cutting-edge lighting technology that not only enhances efficiency but also saves them money. That’s precisely what we delivered to Naches Valley Middle School in Naches, Washington.
Our expert field specialist, Lance Benedict, partnered with premium lighting vendor ecomodus. Together, they conducted a thorough assessment of the school’s lighting needs, including essential areas like hallways, open offices and classrooms.
By recommending the addition of Advanced Networked Lighting Controls or ANLC to classrooms, common areas, locker rooms, and custodial spaces, they maximized the benefits for the school. In addition, they pinpointed areas in the cafeteria, lunch rooms, and locker areas that needed fixture upgrades.
The result? The school district approved these enhancements, which led to an impressive increase in energy savings. In total, the upgraded system is projected to save around 235,000 kilowatt-hours annually. Don’t miss out on the chance to revolutionize your customer’s lighting with Advanced Networked Lighting Controls and help them enjoy substantial savings. Let us help your customers achieve the same remarkable results!

¡Los incentivos para los controladores inteligentes de calentadores de bloque de motor están aquí!
Cuando hace frío, a los motores diésel les cuesta arrancar por las mañanas. Muchos motores vienen con un calentador de bloque que utiliza electricidad de la red para precalentar el motor y facilitar el arranque. Por costumbre, muchos clientes enchufan el calentador por la tarde y lo dejan en funcionamiento toda la noche para que el motor esté caliente por la mañana. Sin embargo, los calentadores trabajan mucho tiempo de manera innecesaria y cada uno consume varios cientos de watts. Lo ideal es que precalienten el motor, como máximo, durante unas pocas horas.
Luego, se añadieron temporizadores básicos a los calentadores de bloque, que se consideraron una medida de eficiencia energética. Estos temporizadores permitieron que los calentadores se encendieran únicamente antes de que los necesitaran, pero seguían requiriendo intervención manual y planificación.
Desde que hay disponibles varios controles inteligentes nuevos para los calentadores de bloque de motor, muchos clientes nos preguntaron acerca de nuestros incentivos. Seleccione un botón a continuación para obtener más información acerca de los calentadores de bloque de motor y otros incentivos.

Estos controladores inteligentes son superiores debido a que utilizan variables como la temperatura del ambiente. Utilizando la temperatura del ambiente ayuda a reducir el tiempo de funcionamiento del calentador de bloque. Cuando configura los tiempos de precalentado utilizando un temporizador de bloque por su cuenta, se ve obligado a configurarlo teniendo en cuenta el peor de los casos. Los controladores de calentadores de bloque de motor ajustan dinámicamente los cronogramas para ser lo más eficientes posible.
