General information [back to top]  
Agency:
Energy Research and Development Authority (STATE)
Description:
The Energy Audit Program provides energy audits to small businesses and other facilities to help them make informed energy decisions and implement energy-efficiency strategies. Audits help identify economically viable improvements that yield substantial annual energy savings.

Industrial and commercial facilities, State and local governments, not-for-profit and private institutions, colleges and universities, K-12 schools, and non-residential facilities are eligible for the program.

Facilities must have less than $75,000 in annual electric bills to be eligible.

Audit costs vary, depending on the customer’s annual electrical bills. For facilities with annual electric costs less than $25,000, the audit fee is $100. Facilities with annual electric costs between $25,000 and $75,000 are charged a fee of $400.

The audit fee may be refunded to the customer if audit-recommended measures are implemented.
