$1.5 million in incentives for customers through Lincoln Electric System’s Sustainable Energy Program will be available in 2022. Since 2009, LES’ Sustainable Energy Program has offered financial incentives to remove barriers for LES customers to use energy-efficient equipment, allowing them to save more and take a more active role in helping manage electricity demand for the entire service area.
“Empowering the community to invest in energy efficiency is environmentally responsible and cost-effective for the utility and our customer-owners,” said Marc Shkolnick, LES manager of Energy Services. Since the program’s inception, LES customers have accessed nearly $28 million in SEP incentives and spent $220 million on energy-efficient equipment and services. “In total, energy efficiency projects that received SEP incentives have cumulatively saved more than 800,000 net megawatt-hours, or the equivalent annual electric use of 80,000 single-family homes,” Shkolnick says.
Find more information about the program and participating contractors by visiting LES.com/SEP or calling 402-475-4211. Incentive funds are available to customers on a first-come, first-served basis.
