Focus on Lighting: Status of Retrofit Rebates
Pennsylvania’s Act 129 requires that the state’s largest electric utility companies provide cash incentives for consumers and businesses who install or retrofit to energy efficient lighting, HVAC systems, motors, and more. These programs have been in effect since July 2009 and are funded by a special rider on your electric bill. REG has secured over $350,000 in rebates for REAP members who have utilized REG’s energy efficient lighting team. Be sure to get your share before the funds are gone since you are paying for it!
