Energy Efficiency Partnering Program (EEP)

partnering with Pasadena Businesses to Cut Costs and Save Energy 

The EEP program rewards Pasadena businesses for a broad range of permanently installed energy-saving retrofit projects, including lighting, HVAC, cooling towers, chillers, motors, compressors,VFD's, CO2 sensors, and more!. Rebates are based on annual energy and peak demand savings: The more energy the project saves, the higher the rebate*. 
 

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

• The EEP program provides rebates based on the estimated annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) energy savings and coincidental peak load (kW) reduction
• Depending upon the project type, savings will be determined by comparing the energy and peak demand of your new equipment versus either current CALGreen/Title 24 building code standards (when applicable), or versus energy consumption and peak demand of the old equipment
• Incentive levels vary by technology and project type, ranging from 5-20¢/kWh for energy savings and $100-200 per kW for peak demand reduction. Click here for details on the savings and rebate calculation method (PDF) 
• Projects employing local vendors may be eligible for bonus incentives
• IMPORTANT: Projects already begun prior to application approval and pre-inspection are NOT ELIGIBLE. You must have an approved EEP application and pass a pre-inspection BEFORE work begins
• Rebates are usually paid within 4 to 6 weeks of project completion and verification by PWP and/or an approved third-party.
