Save electricity, save money and help the environment - at no cost to you.

The program provides turnkey energy efficient lighting and equipment upgrades for small commercial businesses who have less than 50kW of demand. This includes a wide range of businesses from professional dry cleaners to medical offices to beauty salons and food service businesses such as restaurants, grocery stores and butcher shops.
