Program Profiles
The Platte River Power Authority provides electricity to its four member communities through their municipal utilities, including Estes Park Light and Power, Fort Collins Utilities, Longmont Power and Communications, and Loveland Water and Power Department. The programs described below are generally available for all customers served by these four utilities. The Electric Efficiency Program (EEP)EEP provides incentives for commercial customers to upgrade to more energy-efficient equipment. Incentives are based on the project electric energy or demand savings, the project cost, and the annual electric savings. Customers may receive incentives for any energy efficiency measure as long as it produces verifiable energy savings or summer demand reduction; achieves savings due to installation of more efficient equipment or systems; and has a minimum useful life of ten years. Measures may be installed in either new construction or in retrofit applications. More info is at www.prpa.org/productservices/eepoverview.htm. LIGHTENUPThe LIGHTENUP program provides rebates to commercial and industrial customers for retrofitting lighting with more energy-efficient fixtures. The program pays $500/kW to re-lamp and re-ballast, $500/kW for new ballasts, $550/kW for high-performance T8 systems, and $600/kW for 8-foot fluorescent retrofits. New construction receives $0.05 per 0.01 watt per square foot reduction. The maximum incentive available is $100,000 per customer per year, though funding beyond this maximum may be available on a case-by-case basis.
