Grants for conservation

Commercial and industrial customers in Minnesota may qualify

No one knows your business as well as you do. That's the premise behind the Commercial and Industrial Grant Program. This program lets you submit energy-saving proposals based on the unique needs of your business operation.

Ideas unlimited!
Chances are you already have thought of ways you could improve the energy efficiency of your operation. A list of possibilities might include:

  • Changing your compressed air system
  • Adding chiller equipment
  • Adding variable-frequency drives (over 500 HP)
  • Making process improvements
  • Installing heat pumps and mechanical vapor recompressors (MVRs)
  • Improving your lighting
  • Improving your motors (over 500 HP)
  • Improving your refrigeration equipment

Lighting, motors, adjustable speed drives, and heat pumps are eligible for rebates under programs specifically designed for them. Our analysis of your proposal may indicate greater savings potential through one of those programs.

Monitoring of some equipment and disclosure of energy usage before and after the project may be necessary to receive incentives through the grant program. Check with your energy management representative or industrial services representative prior to starting your project.
