Energy-Saving Opportunities for Lighting, HVAC, Refrigeration, Motors, O&M and More

With support from the Energize Connecticut, CL&P's energy experts will work with you to identify energy-saving opportunities at your business.

Our programs use financial incentive strategies to help customers offset the cost of purchasing and installing energy-efficient equipment and implementing advanced operation and maintenance practices. Energy efficiency is a proven way to reduce the cost of doing business. Thousands of Connecticut businesses have reduced their overhead by using electric energy-efficiency equipment and incorporating energy conservation practices in their facilities.

Now, there are even more opportunities to save energy. In addition to electric energy-saving measures, our Energy Opportunities and O&M Services programs include incentives for natural gas efficiency measures too. Firm gas customers of Yankee Gas Services Company, Connecticut Natural Gas and Southern Connecticut Gas can participate. With the addition of natural gas efficiency opportunities, businesses can benefit from seamless, integrated programs that will reduce their total energy usage.
