Pacific Power has recently implemented several program changes for Wattsmart Business in California. For an in-depth look at these program changes, please review the program website announcement, summary of changes and redlined incentive tables.
Below are some of the more significant changes:
- Revised eligibility for T8 TLED Lamp from UL A/B dual mode to UL Type A.
- New Advanced Lighting Control measure with higher incentive than previous control offerings.
- Incentive increase for Interior Lighting (site-specific).
- Advanced Lighting Controls measure (site-specific).
- New Exterior Lighting measure offerings.
- Heating mode requirements added to Packaged Terminal Heat Pump measure offerings.
- Revised eligibility requirements for Heat Pumps, Air Cooled Heat Pumps, replacement of electric resistance heating (retrofit-only) and Heat Pump Water Heaters.
- New vendor incentives for lighting (see Don’t wait to earn vendor incentives article.)
- Incentive calculator tools have been updated to reflect the revised offerings. The tools are available to all approved Wattsmart Business Vendors on the Wattsmart Business Vendor Portal.
Important
For all other lighting and non-lighting equipment purchases that do not require pre-approval, the program updates apply to all equipment purchased on or after September 1, 2024. Equipment purchased before September 1, 2024, may qualify for incentives that were available under the previous incentive structure, and applications with accompanying invoices must be submitted within six months of the purchase date. For projects that require pre-approval, incentive offer letters issued on or after September 1, 2024, will be based on the new incentive structure.
