If you’re planning an LED lighting retrofit project in New York, now is the time to act.
The New York Department of Public Service has announced that Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Lighting Incentives will sunset by the end of 2025 across the state.
This change affects most remaining programs that currently provide rebates and incentives for energy-efficient lighting upgrades. See program-specific information below.
Utility-Specific Deadlines
NYSEG & RG&E
While most programs are adhering to the end-of-year cutoff, NYSEG and RG&E have issued tentative deadlines:
- Pre-Approval Deadline: June 30, 2025
- Final Approval Deadline: October 31, 2025
These dates could be subject to change, so it’s critical for businesses to get ahead of the process.
National Grid (now offering a limited-time bonus!)
Through the Shine Bright 25 in ’25 program, you can stack an additional 25% incentive onto any qualifying lighting project. That includes:
- Prescriptive lighting
- Custom lighting
- Lighting Express fast-track upgrades
- Illuminating Excellence for new construction/renovation projects
To qualify for the bonus and baseline incentives:
By November 15, 2025
- Return your signed customer report
- Installation must be started
By December 31, 2025
Project must be installed, paid in full, and post-inspection complete
Projects not completed by the deadline will not receive the bonus — and may miss out on all incentives as programs sunset statewide.
