If you operate a facility in Washington served by Pacific Power, there’s a new limited-time opportunity to stretch your lighting upgrade budget further.
Starting May 17th, 2025, qualifying lighting projects are eligible for bonus customer incentives worth approximately 10% more per kWh saved, on top of the existing program rates.
Bonus Highlights
The new bonus will apply to interior lighting projects — supporting full fixture replacements to fixture retrofit kits.
The table below is a quick snapshot of how these limited-time bonuses stack up. Full incentive details and increases are already reflected in Pacific Power’s updated 2025 Lighting System Retrofits Incentive Table.
| Measure Type | Base Incentive | Bonus Incentive |
|---|---|---|
| Full Fixture Replacement | Upgrade to Advanced Controls: $0.46/kWh Upgrade to Basic Controls: $0.38/kWh No Controls Upgrade: $0.35/kWh | Upgrade to Advanced Controls: +$0.05/kWh Basic Controls Upgrade or No Controls Upgrade: +$0.04/kWh |

⚠️ Important: All incentives are capped at 70% of project costs and cannot reduce the project’s simple payback below 1 year.
Why Act Now?
In addition to the cost savings, facilities in Washington should be aware of a statewide ban on fluorescent lighting that begins in 2029. While that might sound far off, leveraging these bonus incentives in 2025 can help you get ahead of compliance, avoid future supply chain delays, and start realizing energy savings immediately.
