Can I include internal labor as part of my project costs? For Business customers (excluding schools and government), internal labor costs are not able to be included in the project costs. Only work performed by a third party documented through invoices are eligible to be included in project costs.
School and government customers may include internal labor costs if additional documentation is provided. How do I apply for a Commercial Business incentive? Review the incentive eligibility requirements and, if necessary, refer to the qualified product list (QPL).

Focus on Energy offers a general overview identifying common pieces of information provided on an electric bill, however it is not utility specific.
I have a project for a business. How do I determine what incentives are available? Start with either the Summary of Services & Incentives for Businesses or Summary of Services & Incentives for Agribusiness .
These provide a high-level summary of incentives by technology, including incentives for process systems, HVAC and plumbing, lighting, commercial refrigeration, and agribusiness. If you do not see your project type in one of these summaries, contact Focus on Energy for additional guidance to determine what incentive your project may qualify for. What Is The Difference Between Prescriptive And Custom Incentives?
Simply put, prescriptive incentives have predetermined dollar amounts and are for the most common improvements or equipment we see in the market. Custom incentives are for projects that do not fall under an existing prescriptive offer. Custom incentive amounts are calculated based of energy savings and will vary based on project scope.
