Custom Incentive Program
The UGI Electric SaveSmart Custom Incentive Program offers incentives to help customers reduce their energy use by improving the efficiency of their equipment and facility.
If your business has an energy efficiency project other than lighting, let us know! We’ll come visit your facility to determine eligibility.
Custom incentives will be calculated at $0.10/kWh – up to 50% of incremental project cost or $100,000.
Pre-approval is required for custom projects to ensure cost effectiveness.

- Compressed air system upgrades or replacement
- Chiller or refrigeration upgrades
- Economizers
- Energy management system installation
- Industrial process upgrades
- New construction or renovation projects that involve multiple building systems and exceed state energy codes (e.g., lighting, HVAC and building envelope codes)
- Water/wastewater system improvements
- Solar
Benefits:
- Offset project upgrade cost and reduce payback time
- Technical assistance to identify and evaluate energy efficiency opportunities, calculate energy savings and implement best practices for energy efficiency solutions
- Lower operating costs
- Lower maintenance costs–upgrading your facility can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and reduce repairs
- Improve work environment and productivity by increasing comfort and safety
To be eligible for incentives, participants must submit a completed application within 180 days of the project completion date.
How to Apply for an Incentive:
Applying for our Custom Incentive Program is simple. If you’re a non-residential UGI Electric customer, you’re eligible to earn incentives toward energy efficiency improvements.
Just follow the steps below to apply:
1. Submit an incentive application
After energy efficiency projects are identified, gather all required project information and submit an application via our online portal.
You will need to create an online profile the first time you use the portal.
Required documentation includes:
- Copy of current UGI electric bill
- Cost estimate (e.g., scope of work, proposal, or project quote)
- Equipment specification sheets
- Energy Savings Estimate
- Completed, signed W-9 with tax identification on the most current IRS version (Rev. 2024)
- Completed, signed Third Party Authorization Form, if the payee is not the customer
2. Pre on-site or phone verification
If we didn’t assist in the initial assessment, our program team may need to verify the facility or project details for pre-approval purposes.
Based on the application’s timelines and scope, we will verify preliminary incentives and energy savings. Once reviewed and approved, we will send a pre-approval letter via email outlining your project’s estimated savings and incentive.
*Incentives are not reserved until the pre-approval letter is sent.
3. Installation
Once pre-approval is received, the customer/contractor will then move forward with the chosen project. Please notify us immediately of any changes to the project scope, equipment selection, or timeline.
4. Submit Payment Request and Required Documentation
Upon completion of the project, a payment request will need to be submitted to via the online portal. This must include:
- Details of any scope changes
- Project completion date
- Project invoice
This request will initiate the final engineering review. If needed, a phone or onsite verification along with data collection requirements will be scheduled/discussed to verify project details.
5. Receive your incentive check
Once your final application has been approved, an incentive check will be sent to the contact specified in the application. The incentives are issued approximately 4 to 6 weeks after project approval.
