Oregon energy rebates or incentives are financial offers that encourage energy efficiency upgrades at commercial buildings. Different state and local agencies offer rebates. A business can participate in a rebate program and receive an incentive by installing the appropriate equipment and following other conditions required by the program they are applying to.
High-efficiency lighting products and other energy efficiency technology can be expensive. Although they are cost-effective in the long run, they often require a significant upfront cost that cannot be covered by a facility’s budget. Your business could use a lighting upgrade or installation of energy-saving technology, like a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, for energy savings, decreased electricity bills, boost to employee morale, and increased quality control. But, the cost of lighting upgrades can be steep. Thankfully, there are ways to make energy efficiency improvements affordable when you maximize your lighting rebates by partnering with an energy solutions company, like WattLogic.
With the cost of energy and energy prices continuing to increase, now is the time to look for ways to reduce your carbon footprint. PGE lighting rebates and Pacific Power rebates may be a great opportunity for you to save money on your next energy solution project.

Energy Trust of Oregon recently released its 2021 program for energy efficiency cash incentives. Although many programs saw a decrease in rates when compared to 2020, there are still benefits in pursuing a project in Energy Trust’s territories.
Incentives for lighting and lighting controls both decreased from the 2020 program. Despite this, Energy Trust offers relatively large cash incentives for a variety of qualifying projects in the LED lighting space. Measures that qualify for incentives include LED retrofit lamps at $1.50-$9.00 per lamp, LED screw-in lamps replacing HID’s at $15-$45 per lamp, high and low bays at $75-$175 per fixture, interior LED fixtures at $12-$45 per fixture, exterior LED fixtures at $12-$235 per fixture, and vacancy and occupancy sensors at $19.50-$60.00 per sensor.
Projects not falling in line with Energy Trust’s standard lighting program may be eligible for their custom program. Incentives for custom lighting projects now pay at $0.15 per kWh saved, whereas lighting controls can receive $0.20 per kWh saved.
Energy Trust of Oregon offers Oregon solar incentives of $0.20-$0.25 per watt with a cap of $20,000 for Pacific Power customers, whereas Portland General Electric customers can receive between $0.20-$0.45 per watt with a cap of $35,000. Additionally, the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) provides a tax credit incentive on the costs of the installation.
