Geographically, rebates for commercial lighting are spreading out to more parts of the US, and are growing more popular in the Southeast and South Central US.

New State Programs are a Huge Opportunity

Looking for yet another way to improve payback on your lighting projects? You might be able to take advantage of tax credits being offered by some state agencies. Certain parts of the country have these beneficial tax credits for customers who participate in energy efficient lighting projects. These programs are scattered throughout the US, but can be quite significant. Even better, these credits are ON TOP of any utility rebate or Federal EPAct tax deduction for which you may be eligible.
