At a Glance
- This program, for both residential and commercial customers, provides rebates for advanced technologies such as LED lighting and heat-pump water heaters.
- The program goal is to encourage high-efficiency technologies in the early stages of commercialization.
- It provides rebates double the amount of AMP’s Commercial Lighting Retrofit and HVAC Rebates programs and are based upon the annual kWh savings.
- AMP must be able to monitor the results of the project, and the results must be available to all AMP customers.
Example Technologies
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
With new improvements in cost, performance, and a variety of new lighting applications, LED technology is evolving rapidly. The energy-saving potential of LED lighting ranges from 50 to 90% as compared with conventional lighting.
Heat-Pump Water Heaters
Standard electric water heater energy costs range between $500 and $1,000 a year. Newly commercialized heat-pump water heaters cost between $200 and $375 a year to operate.
Advanced Technology Rebate Rates
| Efficiency Measure Type | Rebate Rate |
| Motors |
$0.18/kWh |
| Lighting (LEDs), Water Heaters | $0.20/kWh |
| HVAC, Refrigeration | $0.22/kWh |
