Fund Your Efficiency Investments

EnerNOC's Utility Solutions' Program Implementation team has partnered with hundreds of utilities and grid operators worldwide to bring utility-funded programs to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users. In many cases, EnerNOC is chosen as the sole provider of these programs, which means that we are in a unique position to help you fund your energy efficiency projects. Utility incentive dollars are available across the EfficiencySMART™ product suite.

Sample utility-funded opportunities that may be available to you include:

• California: Through bi-lateral agreements with EnerNOC, both SCE and PGE offer programs to offset the costs to deploy EfficiencySMART Insight. SCE also offers a retro-commissioning program for commercial customers (RCx program requirement details can be found here).

These programs change frequently as space is typically limited; to inquire whether or not utility-funded opportunities are currently available in your region, please contact the EnerNOC sales team.

Understand and Align with Commercial and Mixed-Use Building Energy Efficiency Policies

Cities across the U.S. are enacting policies that require large commercial and mixed-use buildings to benchmark and disclose energy ratings and perform audits and retro-commissioning. While many high-performing buildings already have an energy efficiency plan, the policies are designed to shift the market towards more efficient buildings, while saving money and energy in the process.

Below is a sample of the local policy and legal resources available for navigating the guidelines for your buildings.

Note: this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, only a representative sample.
