    Does your project not fit in one our standard offers?

    Custom project incentives are calculated on a case-by-case basis for non-standard technologies and are based on estimated first-year energy savings. So whether you operate a large industrial facility with a $60,000 monthly energy bill, a chain store or franchise, an office, school or municipal building, a farm, or anything in between, we can show you how to be more energy efficient—and how to save on the cost of making improvements. 

    Before purchasing equipment or proceeding with upgrades, you must be working with an Energy Advisor from Focus on Energy. Your advisor will help you to determine if your project qualifies for a Focus on Energy custom incentive and will help you obtain necessary pre-approval.

    If you are ready to get started with your custom project, please download and complete the Custom Incentive Guide.

    Want to know how much your custom project is worth?

    Focus on Energy may pay up to 50% of the cost of an energy project assessment to help you determine the viability of a potential energy project.

    Download the Project Assessment Incentive Guide to get started. Pre-approval is required.
