Program Updates & Reminders

New Cycle Announcements

  • The Public Service Commission has given its approval for the EmPOWER Maryland 2024–2026 program incentives. As of January 15, 2024, new applications for the Energy Savings for Business program are being accepted.
  • Both Delmarva Power and Pepco now offer new incentives for retrofit lighting. Please ensure that you use the latest versions of the worksheets, dated 01152024 in the file name, on the Delmarva Power and Pepco websites.

Furthermore, HVAC incentives have increased $300–$350 per ton as of March 4, 2024. Please refer to the updated Delmarva Power and Pepco HVAC technical sheets for details.

Project of the Quarter
Congratulations to ABI Advantage and Green Way Lighting for receiving the Project of the Quarter for their recent work with Covenant Life Church.

This project, carried out through Pepco’s Energy Efficient Communities program, began with an energy audit from ABI Advantage. This audit assisted the customer in pinpointing the initial steps of their energy efficiency journey. As a result, the customer focused on achieving substantial energy savings by undergoing a large-scale LED retrofit, which involved installing lighting controls throughout the facility, managed by Green Way Lighting.

Additionally, Covenant Life Church made a commitment to ongoing monitoring of its mechanical systems to detect issues and explore energy-saving opportunities with the help of Pepco’s Monitoring-Based Commissioning program.

Thanks to these upgrades, Covenant Life Church has already received over $200,000 in incentives and will now save approximately 400,000 kWh annually.

Think you could have the next Project of the Quarter? Submit your project nominations to Aby Warran at Aby.Warran@icf.com for consideration to be featured in the next newsletter.
