SD EnergyLink provides cash incentives for energy-efficiency projects that can help your facility save on operations and maintenance costs. Incentives vary based on project scope and size. This program is available to qualifying properties within SDG&E® service territory that are on applicable rate schedules (Schedules AL-TOU, AL-TOU2 and/or schedule GN-3).

Fast-Track & Custom Project Incentives

Fast-Track Incentives

Receive cash incentives and rebates based on the amount of energy the new technology, equipment, or system will save when compared to existing energy use. Calculate the estimated incentive amount using our online application tool or connect with a program representative.

Fast-Track Incentives are commonly known as deemed incentives. Projects using only Fast-Track Incentives do not require pre-approval if all equipment is listed on the Fast-Track list below.

Custom Projects

Whether you have a specific project in mind or don’t know where to start, SD EnergyLink staff can help you identify energy-saving opportunities and connect you with incentives.

For some custom projects, like  Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) projects, the team uses data analysis and energy measurement and automation strategies to provide a more accurate way to measure how much energy efficiency you can get out of a building retrofit project.
