Thank you for a great year!
In 2019, the PPL Business Energy Efficiency Program saved customers
206,270,871 kWh
and paid more than
$12.4 million in rebates.
This was our most successful year yet; thank you for supporting the program!
Last year, we expanded our
Direct Discount Program to include more diverse GS1 and GS3 customers and projects, including our largest to date—two projects resulting in
8,347,228 kWh annual savings
and
$1 million in rebates
for one customer. Ten refrigeration projects have been completed with a local grocery chain, with an expected annual savings of
2,366,049 kWh.
We are looking forward to seeing what additional diverse projects 2020 brings.

Pre-approval reminder
As of January 1, 2020, pre-approval is required on all projects in order to receive a rebate. A project application must be submitted in good order and receive a pre-approval letter before construction begins. An on-site verification is NOT considered pre-approval. Pre-approval for the Distributor Instant Discount/Midstream Program is only required if the project rebate funds exceed $1,800.

Direct Discount Program
New Assessment Tool—A new Direct Discount Assessment Tool is now available online, reflecting the incentive change from
$0.15/kWh to $0.13/kWh
. When completing the project information, please ensure you’re selecting the most accurate building type for the project.
Miscellaneous/Other
should be used when you are unable to find a building type that matches, e.g., auto body/truck shops, movie theaters, sports arenas and more. The usage group schedule is also available for projects that see savings over 120,000 kWh.
Updated co-branded marketing flyer—New co-branded flyers are available for Direct Discount contractors upon request. Just
email a high-resolution logo and your contact information as you'd like it to appear on the flyer.
Approved Direct Discount contractor list—Our approved contractor list has been updated to include only active contractors. This list will be evaluated and updated quarterly. Onboarding for contractors will also be held quarterly, beginning March 2020. Please visit our
event page to register for upcoming webinars on March 16, 2020, 10:00–10:30 a.m. and March 19, 2020, 4:00–4:30 p.m.
Reminders:
-
If construction begins prior to receiving pre-approval, the project will no longer be eligible for any rebate due to the new pre-approval requirements for the downstream program.
-
All Direct Discount Program project details will be communicated to the main point of contact for each company. If there are questions about your projects, please contact Melissa Stambaugh.
-
A distributor invoice related to each project is required as part of your final document submission.
