South Dakota rebate information for upgrades to existing buildings
Lighting can account for 40 percent of electricity costs in commercial buildings. Switching to high-efficiency lighting, following an analysis of your lighting needs, could reduce those costs significantly.
When you reduce your wattage by at least 12 percent by switching to high-efficiency lighting, you can qualify for valuable retrofit rebates.
All South Dakota commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers are eligible. Qualifying fixtures include T8 lamps, compact fluorescents, efficient HID lighting, induction lighting, electronic ballasts, and occupancy sensors. All rebates exceeding $4500 must be pre-approved.
