Prescriptive Lighting Program
Want to cut down on energy costs? Take advantage of the UGI Electric SaveSmart Prescriptive Lighting Program and switch to energy-efficient lighting.
LED lighting can save you up to 50 percent on energy costs, while fluorescent lighting can lower energy use by 25 percent or more.
Advances in lighting technologies mean upgrading to high-efficiency lighting goes beyond changing lamps and bulbs. Whether it’s reconfiguring your lamp layout or installing occupancy sensors so lights only turn on when needed, we can help you find the best solution, while maximizing incentive eligibility.
Prescriptive lighting incentives will be calculated at $0.07/kWh – up to 50% of total project cost or $100,000.
Benefits:
- Offset upgrade costs and reduce payback time
- Lower your electric bills
- Longer lasting bulbs, for reduced maintenance
- Better lighting improves your work environment, comfort, safety,
and may improve productivity - Choice to have incentives paid to you or to your service provider
To be eligible for incentives, participants must submit a completed application within 180 days of the project completion date. Lights must be ENERGY STAR® rated or must meet the requirements of DLC SSL v5.1 to be eligible for incentives.
How to Apply for an Incentive:
Applying for our Business Incentive Program is simple. If you’re a non-residential UGI Electric customer, you’re eligible to earn incentives toward energy efficiency improvements.
Pre-approval of the project continues to be recommended and encouraged to accurately calculate savings and incentives (required for Direct Discount). Final application must be received within 180 days of the project completion date.
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:Â
- Copy of current UGI electric billÂ
- Cost estimate (e.g., scope of work, proposal, or project quote)Â
- Lighting Manufacturers’ specification sheets
- PA Lighting Form (request a copy from UGIElectricBusinessRebates@clearesult.com )
- 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.Â
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 will be scheduled 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.
