CPS Energy's Commercial Custom Efficiency Program provides a comprehensive platform for cost-effective energy efficiency measures not addressed by the other commercial rebate program offerings. Program participants submit an application for a firm quantity of kW and/or kWh reduction through the installation of energy-efficiency measures. A customized incentive is offered based on project performance. 

This program provides customers with the flexibility to install a number of measures, including innovative measures or technologies, and receive incentives based on the actual savings they achieve.  This program does require more precision in savings verification than the non-custom measures.

The goals of the Custom Efficiency program include:

• Increase customer acceptance and use of energy efficient technologies and practices.
• Encourage and support comprehensive energy efficiency projects that go beyond single measures and common efficiency practices.
• Obtain verifiable, cost-effective and long-term electrical energy and demand savings.
• Provide more opportunities to participate in rebate programs for small and mid-size business customers. 

1. Customer must submit a proposal, via the online upload functionality, along with estimated cost, estimated demand savings, and method of kW savings calculation.
2. CPS Energy will meet with the customer to verify the work to be completed and the savings calculations.
3. Rebates are calculated individually for all other measures.
4. Payment will be made after project completion and verification of savings.
5. CPS Energy is the sole determinate as to the inclusion of other measures in the rebate program.

1. Any reduction in lighting usage will be paid based on the 2009 Lighting Rebate Matrix.
2. This program was developed primarily for the small and midsize commercial customers.
3. Rebates will be based on a per fixture basis – no bulbs will be included in the program rebates. 
4. This measure is designed for 50 or less fixtures.  If 50 fixtures are exceeded, the rebate should be applied for under the “Commercial Lighting Equipment” program.
5. Random post-inspections will be conducted. 
6. Applications for this program will be handled through the on-line “Other” category.
