- Energy Assessment
- An energy assessment of your commercial facility will be conducted by a takeCHARGE energy expert.
- This high-level assessment is fully funded by takeCHARGE.
- You will be provided with a prioritized list of recommended projects designed to reduce your energy use.
- Some recommendations may warrant further evaluation.
- Project Proposal
- Your takeCHARGE contact will provide a project proposal form for you to complete to capture the details of your project.
- Once completed, the form must be returned to takeCHARGE.
- Project Development Agreement
- If the proposal is approved, takeCHARGE will provide a project development agreement.
- The agreement outlines project deliverables, expected energy savings, incentives, and obligations of both parties.
- The signed agreement allows you to start your energy efficiency upgrade as outlined.
- Project Close-Out, Measurement and Verification (M&V)
- After successful implementation, close out, measurement, and verification are required.
- Quantifying energy savings and determining final incentive value is part of this step.
- If savings are less than 85% of the estimate, incentive reductions may apply.
- Final incentives will be paid once savings are verified, and the project is considered complete.
