Notes for lighting retrofit incentives:

  1. To be eligible for the incentives listed, the new lighting system must use less energy than the existing lighting system replaced or the baseline lighting system as determined by Pacific Power. To be eligible for an incentive for a system with controls, the new controls must save energy relative to existing controls.
  2. Incentives are capped at 70% of energy efficiency project costs and incentives will not be available to reduce the energy efficiency project simple payback below one year. Energy efficiency project costs are subject to Pacific Power approval. 
  3. Incentives listed as $/kWh are paid per kWh annual energy savings as determined by Pacific Power. 
  4. Eligible retrofit lighting equipment is defined in qualified equipment lists posted in the Washington lighting catalog. 
  5. A complete list of lighting equipment not eligible for retrofit incentives is available in the Washington lighting catalog.

Notes for new construction/major lighting incentives:

  1. Project cost caps of 70% and one-year simple payback caps apply to new construction and major renovation projects that are not subject to state energy code. The one-year simple payback cap means incentives will not be available to reduce the simple payback of a project below one year. If required, individual measure incentives will be adjusted downward pro-rata so the project has a simple payback after incentives of one year. 
  2. Lighting equipment installed to comply with the applicable version of the state energy code, but not exceeding that code, is not eligible for incentives. Lighting equipment that exceeds the applicable version of the state energy code is eligible for incentives.
  3. Eligible lighting equipment is defined in qualified equipment lists in the Washington lighting catalog.
