Grant eligibility
All non-residential facilities are eligible for Efficiency Maine’s commercial and industrial incentives. Additionally, Efficiency Maine occasionally issues targeted incentive funding opportunity notices that are limited to specific customer and project types, such as municipalities; schools and higher education facilities; manufacturing and industrial facilities; multifamily buildings with three or more units; and mixed-use buildings (commercial/residential buildings with at least one commercial meter).
Examples of eligible organizations include:
- Businesses, for profit or nonprofit;
- Municipalities;
- Schools and higher education facilities;
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities;
- Multifamily buildings with three or more units; and
- Mixed-use buildings (commercial/residential buildings with at least one commercial meter).
- Efficiency Maine’s Commercial and Industrial Prescriptive Initiatives does not offer incentives for single-family houses, two-unit duplexes, condominiums, or home-based businesses. These may be eligible for incentives through the residential programs.
Most of Efficiency Maine’s commercial and industrial incentives require preapproval before purchase. Additionally, certain (“prescriptive”) incentives must be implemented by an Efficiency Maine Qualified Partner to be eligible. For a list of Qualified Partners, please visit the following webpage: Find a Qualified Maine Energy Partner | Efficiency Maine.
All Maine facilities are eligible as long as they are served by a Maine utility.
