Did you know NV Energy has a program that provides cash incentives and technical assistance to help small businesses in northern Nevada invest in energy efficiency and conservation?
From restaurants to retailers, manufacturers to municipalities and hotels to hospitals, NV Energy Sure Bet incentives can help commercial customers save energy and money. The program helps by sending out engineers – at no cost – who will come out to assess a company’s energy use and make recommendations for efficiency improvements. Better still, NV Energy can also line up qualified contractors to install the recommended upgrades AND will help pay for the installation costs; making it so projects can pay for themselves very quickly through utility bill savings, even if your business is in a leasing situation.
- Incentives are available for NV Energy’s commercial electric customers in northern Nevada and NV Energy commercial gas customers in the Reno-Sparks area. Customers can select a project from a prescriptive list of measures or work with an energy assessor to propose a custom project with verifiable energy savings. Incentives are available for new construction, major renovation and existing facility improvement projects.
- Prescriptive measures range from lighting to refrigeration and commercial kitchen equipment to heating and cooling to variable speed drive pumps and fans and more.
- Program staff can help identify energy efficiency opportunities.
If you are interested in tapping this incentive program to find where the opportunities for energy efficiency are in your business, contact Chris Lynch, the director of the Nevada SBDC’s Business Environmental Program and he will get you lined up with NV Energy’s Sure Bet program.
