The Small Business Improvement program offers incentives for the installation of a variety of energy efficiency improvements. These include LED lighting, variable frequency drives, prescriptive re-commissioning, and efficient climate control units.

Yes. Only qualified measures performed by a contractor participating in the Small Business Improvement Program will be eligible for incentives. 

This program is open to Dominion Energy North Carolina non-residential customers with privately-owned business in five or fewer locations, meeting these criteria:

• Customer has not exceeded monthly demand of 100 kilowatts more than three times in the past 12 months,
• Customer has not opted out of participation
• Customer is responsible for the electric bill
• Customer either owns the facility or is reasonably able to secure permission to complete the measures

Yes. If you are responsible for the electric bill and you are either the owner of the building or reasonably able to secure permission from the building owner to have the energy assessment conducted and identified improvements completed, you may participate in the program.

The participating contractor you choose will provide the cost for installing any recommended measures on-site. Upon completion of the work, a rebate will be submitted on your behalf, so your out-of-pocket cost will vary depending upon the rebates you qualify for based on the measures you installed.

No. If you participate in a program and receive a rebate, you cannot opt out for three years following the year of participation.

Customers must also have a verified electric history of using more than 500 kilowatts but no more than 10 megawatts that meet certain requirements in order to be eligible for opt out.

Please allow up to 90 days from the date all required information is submitted to Dominion for your rebate to process. Payment will be issued to the account holder and mailing address on record with Dominion Energy, unless the customer has authorized the rebate to be paid to the contractor. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that all requirements for the rebate are met. Failure to provide any of the required information will delay processing of your application and could result in non-payment.

Upon submission of your rebate, an email will be sent to the email address provided on the rebate form confirming the rebate has been submitted for processing. You may also call 888-366-8280 to check the status of your rebate.
