Market(s)
Eligible
Measures &
Incentives
This program will be available to all commercial, industrial and government customers with a peak
demand of 100 kW or greater.
The program will offer the same stipulated measures as the small commercial program but with lower
incentive rates. The program will also offer a Custom Initiative for Large C&I customers interested in
pursuing custom projects such as retrocommissioning, process efficiency improvements, and other
customer measure installations that produce at least 100,000 kWh in savings.
NOTE: Eligible Measures and Incentives included in the table below offer representative measures and
incentive rates that may be adjusted by the program implementer according to the final program design
and objectives.
The key elements of the implementation strategy include trade ally recruitment and management,
customer recruitment, technical assistance, QA/QC review and training, project verification, and M&V
services.
Implementatio
n & Delivery
Program offerings will be promoted to key trade allies (e.g., engineering firms, energy service
providers, contractors) so they can promote participation to their customers. Participating
contractors will be required to participate in training sessions regarding program incentives,
participation processes and requirements, and eligible measures.
Customers will be recruited primarily through direct outreach activities to trade allies, program
marketing and outreach activities, and referrals by ENO managed account representatives.
The program will provide both cost-sharing for facility assessment and engineering support to
identify and assess the cost-effectiveness of energy savings opportunities not covered by Energy
Smart prescriptive (deemed) incentives. In addition, program staff will guide customers and
trade allies through the participation process to minimize confusion and barriers to
participation. Incentive applications will be subject to a quality assurance review by program
technical staff to ensure accuracy of gross savings and incentive calculations.
ENO reserves the right to site-verify installations prior to project approval and incentive
payment. The program will also continue to proactively pursue innovative delivery strategies
and new technologies and incentive structures to help keep the program relevant over time.
Schools and Cities Initiative
Program implementer will work with Entergy customer account managers to solicit school and city
accounts motivated to improve the efficiency of their facilities to receive benchmarking and EMP
services. Schools accounts will need to participate at the district level. This will provide school and city
accounts customers with valuable information and insight into how their facilities are currently
performing. These services will ensure that institutional customers understand their results and will
work with these accounts to develop a plan that identifies the management practices and specific
projects that will help them save money by using energy more efficiently among the portfolio of facilities
they own and operate.
Custom Initiative
The program will encourage Large C&I customers to consider performing custom projects that result in
substantial energy savings (minimum 100,000 kWh annual savings). These projects may include retrocommissioning,
process improvements, and other system level custom projects or projects involving
unique equipment not part of the prescriptive offerings. Program staff will pre-approve projects for
customer and measure eligibility, and provide M&V services or review as needed to verify measures
savings. The program will provide technical support for large C&I customers to identify energy waste
and prioritize energy improvements, and further provide energy assessments, educational resources, and
incentives for the installation of energy efficiency measures.
