NYSEG and RG&E have partnered with EnerPath to offer a Small Business Energy Efficiency program in most of their services areas. Eligible businesses, with demand of less than 100 kilowatts, will receive a free energy assessment to measure their energy efficiency. As part of this program NYSEG or RG&E will cover 70% of the cost of recommended lighting upgrades for their customers.
Qualifying lighting upgrades include replacing existing fluorescent fixtures with higher efficiency lamps and ballasts, changing incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and upgrading exit signs to light emitting diode (LED) technology.
For program information and eligibility guidelines, business customers should visit nyseg.com or rge.com, click on “Energy Efficiency Incentives” and then on “Small Business Energy Efficiency Program.” Using their account numbers or business name and address, customers can determine if they are eligible. To enroll in the Small Business Energy Efficiency Program, business customers should call EnerPath at 1-877-359-9814. Program information is also available at the companies’ energy efficiency hotline (1.800.995.9525).
