CUSTOM INCENTIVES Does your project not fit in one of our prescriptive offers? Custom project incentives are calculated on a case-by-case basis for non- standard technologies and are based on estimated first-year energy savings. Whether you operate a large industrial facility, a chain store or franchise, an office, school or municipal building, a farm, or anything in between, we can show you how to be more energy efficient — and how to save on the cost of making improvements. Before purchasing equipment or proceeding with upgrades, you must contact an Energy Advisor from Focus on Energy. Your Energy Advisor will help you determine if your project qualifies for a Focus on Energy custom incentive and will help you obtain necessary pre-approval.
