Business Energy Rebate Online Application
Business energy rebates support businesses, non-profits and institutional organizations, as well as industrial/agricultural facilities in choosing high-efficiency products.
Choosing efficient products will improve your bottom line by reducing your energy consumption and helping you manage your businesses operating costs. Investing in energy efficiency can improve the in-store experiences, deliver higher quality lighting for product displays, improve productivity and reduce your environmental impact.
Any Island business, non-profit and institutional organization, or industrial/agricultural facility can apply for up to 50% of costs to purchase and install approved high-efficiency products and equipment in a non-residential building.
Rebates are also available for equipment installed in tourism accommodations and short-term rental accommodations (defined as rented for less than one year at a time).
Please contact efficiencyPEI for pre-approval for a rebate over $5,000.
Additional rebates may be available for larger upgrades through Community Energy Solutions.
