Prescriptive rebates have fixed rebate amounts and efficiency standards for specified gas equipment, whereas modified rebates are suited to projects not covered by prescriptive rebates. You may be able to lower monthly energy expenses and shorten the payback period of your new equipment by taking advantage of the Custom Rebate program that Minnesota Energy offers. Examples of qualified equipment through the Custom Rebate program include:
- High-efficiency process equipment
- Efficient heating and water heating systems not covered by a prescriptive rebate
- Heat recovery systems
- Energy management systems (EMS) and controls
- Building envelope improvements
Each project is examined separately. Rebates are determined as the lesser of the cost difference between industry practice and high-efficiency goods and practices; and the cost difference between industry practice and high-efficiency products and practices.
To participate in the Custom Rebate program, pre-approvals are necessary. To assess eligibility and incentive amounts, project-specific information such as equipment type, size, efficiency, and the cost is necessary to consider.
