PEC’s in-house incentives team identifies, applies for, and secures every utility rebate, incentive, and grant your project qualifies for. Then we deduct the value from your invoice up front, so there’s no waiting for the utility check, no paperwork on your desk, and no money left on the table.

Incentives Team
When a utility approves a payment, the check can take 6 to 18 months to arrive. That timing kills cash flow on retrofits that should have been a clear yes. PEC eliminates the wait.
Your project economics work today, not eventually.
We'll factor in the incentives so you only pay the net project cost.
PEC files, tracks, and manages incentive and rebate paperwork on your behalf.
Your finance team knows the exact net project cost before the PO is cut.
The majority of commercial ratepayers in North America contribute to utility energy efficiency program funds through a line item on their power bill. That money is set aside specifically to offset the cost of efficiency upgrades like LED retrofits, controls, and EV charging.
The catch: you only get it back if someone files the paperwork correctly, on time, with the right utility, before the project breaks ground. Most electrical contractors don’t have the capacity to do so.
Rebate filing gets handed to whoever has bandwidth, a sales rep, a PM, or an admin. They miss deadlines, miss limited-time bonuses, and don’t catch program-specific paperwork requirements. This can lead to lower incentive payments and even ineligibility.Â
Utility incentive programs change constantly. Program budgets run out. Limited-time bonuses open and close. Applications have strict submission deadlines. Without a dedicated team tracking program changes daily, the wrong fixture or the wrong filing date can disqualify an entire project.
Even when a rebate is filed correctly, utilities can take 6 to 18 months to pay out. For a CFO building a project pro forma, that’s a year of carrying capital before the savings hit the books.
PEC operates an in-house Energy Program & Incentives Team, staffed by specialists whose only job is to find, apply for, and secure every dollar of incentive funding your project qualifies for. They work alongside your Sales Engineer and Project Manager, and maintain active relationships with the utilities that fund your rebate.
Not an outsourced consultant. Not a side task for a PM. A dedicated team with active relationships at the largest utilities and energy program partners in North America.
We don’t make you wait for the check. The full estimated incentive value comes off your invoice. PEC receives payment from the program once it’s issued.
Utility rebates + government programs + utility bonuses; we identify every program that stacks on your project and file each one on your behalf.
We apply for and reserve incentive funds before equipment is ordered, protecting your project from quarterly program changes, and limited incentive budgets.
Pre-installation application, measurement and verification documentation, utility inspections, final applications. You sign off on the documents. We handle the rest.
For multi-site rollouts across multiple utilities and states, we coordinate applications, deadlines, and program rules under a single point of contact.
Most companies know about basic utility rebates. Fewer are able to handle higher-complexity programs with greater funding opportunities. PEC goes after all of them.
Prescriptive, midstream, and custom incentives from major utilities and programs; including PGE, PacifiCorp, Energy Trust of Oregon, BPA, ComEd, Oncor, SCE, PG&E, APS, SRP, and dozens more across North America.
Limited-time offers and bonus incentives offered by utilities to drive energy efficiency project activity.Â
State energy office grants, statewide incentive programs, federal industrial efficiency grants, and municipal incentives that vary by ZIP code.Â
Utility programs that finance your project through your power bill, often financed at 0% or below market rate.Â
Our Incentives team reviews your facility, utility information, location, and project scope to identify every program you qualify for.
We model utility + government funding sources to maximize total coverage, including available bonuses.
We submit pre-installation applications to confirm and reserve incentive funds with the program before any equipment is ordered.
The full estimated incentive value is deducted from your project invoice. You pay the net cost.
Once your project is installed, our team submits post-installation documentation, and coordinates all required program inspections and verifications.Â
PEC works directly with the utility to receive the rebate funds we already credited you. You’re done, the paperwork ends at your signature.

No. PEC deducts the full estimated incentive value from your project invoice. You pay the net cost. We work directly with the utility to receive the funds. You don’t wait, and you don’t track the check.
Most commercial energy efficiency and electrification projects qualify for something — utility rebates and incentives, utility financing, state programs, grants or some combination. Our Incentives team does the research and tells you exactly what’s available. In the rare case that nothing qualifies, you can trust we left no stone unturned.
In most cases, tax credits are eligible to be paired with incentives. While PEC can’t file your taxes for you, we will provide documentation, where possible, to support your tax professional.Â
Typically just a few signatures. PEC files the pre-installation application, manages technical review, handles program inspections, and submits post-installation paperwork. You sign two or three documents. We handle the rest.
PEC works with all major investor-owned utilities, public utilities, and statewide incentive programs across North America — including PGE, PacifiCorp, Energy Trust of Oregon, BPA, ComEd, Oncor, SCE, PG&E, APS, SRP, and many more. If your facility is on a grid, we’ve likely worked with your utility.
We coordinate the application process across multiple utilities and states under a single point of contact. Each site gets the right paperwork on the right schedule with the right program — managed centrally so you don’t have to track it.
Our team typically verifies which programs your site is eligible for in just a few days. You get a written summary of every program your project qualifies for, with estimated dollar values.
That’s why we reserve the funds in advance. We file applications and lock in funds before equipment is ordered — so your project is protected from program changes and budget constraints.Â
Nothing additional. Incentive management is included in PEC’s project scope. The team’s work is funded by PEC, not by a separate fee — and the rebate dollars are passed through to you in full.
