Efficiency and Incentives Guides for Illinois Businesses

Efficiency changes consumption and sometimes peak demand; procurement changes the price and risk treatment of supply. Evaluate those effects separately before combining them. Demand-charge changes depend on the tariff, while capacity impacts depend on the account’s coincident-peak obligations and timing.

Check current program eligibility, pre-approval, funding, equipment requirements, and evidence before committing. Keep one-time rebates, tax effects, and ongoing energy benefits distinct, and avoid counting the same benefit twice. Specialist feasibility work may be needed before an investment decision.
