Incentives

Can I receive an incentive for used or refurbished equipment?

No. Used or refurbished material is not eligible for incentives nor does SMECO allow equipment that is removed to be re-installed within the SMECO service territory.

Does the pre-approval letter guarantee payment of incentives at the full amount?

The pre-approval letter guarantees payment of the incentives at the full amount as long as all conditions of the pre-approval letter have been met. Any change in equipment specifications, quantities installed, or other factors affecting energy savings and project costs may result in changes to the incentive amount. Any changes from the original pre-approval letter conditions must receive SMECO approval before being implemented to guarantee incentive payment.

Can I receive incentives for projects where the equipment has already been purchased?

No. Program pre-approval is required for all projects prior to the purchase or installation of equipment in order to be eligible for incentives (noted in the Terms & Conditions on the application form).
