Lighting Measures
The Consumers Energy Business Solutions electric incentive program is fully subscribed and has been closed. Electric incentive applications received on or after June 2, 2010 will be placed on a waitlist and filled on a first-in basis subject to the availability of funds. Applications for natural gas savings incentives still are being accepted.

Lighting can be a big energy expense for many businesses with 50 percent of lighting energy wasted by obsolete equipment. Switch to energy efficient lighting and you’ll use less energy helping you to save on your utility bills every month.
Energy efficient lighting can be an easy way to start taking energy efficient measures at your workplace. Now Consumers Energy is making it even easier by offering incentives on your efficient lighting purchase that can accelerate payback. Do the math on the worksheet in our application to see how quickly you’ll save.
