Q: Who is Encentiv Energy?

A: Encentiv Energy makes energy efficiency programs accessible, affordable, and actionable by helping utilities connect with more of their commercial customers. Since 2009, Encentiv has worked to improve how the market accesses utility programs. This began with software solutions that connected manufacturer products to every rebate program across the country, simplifying the rebate process and accelerating the sale of high-efficient products.

 

Q: What is UtilityGenius™?

A: In an effort to make rebate information more accessible, we launched UtilityGenius™, a free public energy efficiency platform, in late 2021. Our mission is to provide quick and easy access to utility rebate estimates and program information alongside qualified products to educate customers on product efficiency and cost savings through utility rebates. Since its public launch, UtilityGenius™ has become a one-stop resource for commercial customers just like you and is now well-recognized, with a widget on the ENERGY STAR® Energy Efficiency Rebates for Commercial Buildings page and other similar energy efficiency regional organizations and contractor sites.

Q: Who is eligible to receive these incentives?

A: Offers are valid for Con Edison commercial customers purchasing through the UtilityGenius™ Commercial Storefront only. The customer’s account must currently be in good standing. Certain quantity limits and restrictions may apply. Accounts will be verified before checkout. Please have the account number and address information ready before purchase.

All projects will be subject to post-inspection requiring a copy of the customer invoice and access to the installation site. Refusal to cooperate with these requests will result in a failed inspection. If it is determined during post-inspection that you do not qualify for the rebate, the credit card used for payment will be charged for the remainder of your order (any ineligible rebate sums).

Q: Where do these incentives come from?

A: Consolidated Edison offers their commercial customers incentives through the Con Edison Instant Lighting Incentive Program. Customers purchasing on the UtilityGenius™ Commercial Storefront will need to have a Con Edison commercial account in good standing. Please have your account number ready for verification at checkout.
