High-Efficiency Air Compressors with Variable Frequency Drive Rebate when installing a high-efficiency air compressor with variable frequency drive in either an existing facility or new construction. Rebate calculated as follows:

Motor Efficiency: >=90%
Motor Horsepower: $90 per Horsepower

High-Efficiency Motors Rebate when replacing less efficient motors with higher efficiency motors meeting current NEMA standards in an existing facility. Rebate per motor is based on Horsepower (HP) size and calculated as follows:

High Frequency Battery Chargers (Fleet) Rebate when installing high-frequency battery chargers versus standard conventional ferroresonant (FR) or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) chargers in an existing facility. Rebate calculated as follows:

High Frequency
>=60 Hz: $80 per unit

LED Lighting with Sensors for Refrigerated Cases Rebate when replacing T8 with equivalent LED lamp and motion sensors in refrigerated cases (example: supermarkets) in an existing facility. New construction applies. Rebate calculated as follows:

LEDs with motion sensors: $24 per linear foot of lighted, refrigerated case

Occupancy Sensors/Controls for LED Lighting Rebate when installing new sensors/controls for LED lighting in an existing facility where controls were not previously installed or new construction. Rebate calculated as follows:

Wall Mounted: $0.020 per watt controlled
Ceiling Mounted: $0.030 per watt controlled
Fixture Mounted: $0.060 per watt controlled
Remote Mounted Dimming: $0.045 per watt controlled
Fixture Mounted Dimming: $0.036 per watt controlled
Switching Controls Multi Level: $0.160 per watt controlled
Central Controls (Timelocks): $0.040 per watt controlled

Occupancy Sensors/Controls for HVAC Rebate when installing occupancy controls for HVAC equipment in an existing facility with electric heat system only, including hotel/motel guest rooms. Rebate calculated as follows:

$60 per unit

Open Refrigerated Case Door Retrofit Rebate when retrofitting open refrigeration cases with doors for energy savings in an existing facility. Rebate calculated as follows:

$100 per linear foot of refrigerated

Variable Frequency Drives forHVAC Rebate when installing variable frequency drive motors for HVAC pumps and fans in an existing facility. Rebate calculated as follows:

$40 per Brake Horsepower (BHP) of motor driven by VFD

This program is applicable for commercial and industrial business facilities only. Residential applications are not eligible. 
*Pre-approval is required.

​Rebate may not exceed 50% of equipment cost (excluding labor), up to a total maximum rebate amount of $5,000 per rebate application.

Projects must be completed by December 31, 2020.

After project is complete, Pioneer will do a site visit to the facility to verify installation.

Additional Guidelines:

Existing equipment must be operational when pre-approval application is submitted.

All equipment must be new. Used or rebuilt equipment is not eligible.

All projects must comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and building codes.

Only one improvement incentive will be granted for each facility per rebate period.
