DPUC & CHA Loans
Financing Opportunities for Commercial and Industrial Customers
DPUC-Sponsored Grants, Financial Incentives and Low-Interest Loans
To stimulate the construction of generating capacity or projects that reduce load, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) offers monetary grants and other financial incentives to assist commercial and industrial customers with the cost of installing customer-owned electric generating equipment. Incentives are also available for energy-efficiency and load-management projects that reduce system demand. Collectively, these installations are commonly referred to as “distributed resource” projects.
- Low-Interest Loans
Low-interest loans are available for customer-side distributed resource projects of 50 kW or greater. The interest rate will be one percent below the customer’s applicable rate or no more than the prime rate.
