Energy optimization system improving efficiency and reducing operational costs for facilities

The Statewide Water Infrastructure and System Efficiency™ (SW WISE™) Program,
which is a Third-Party Energy Efficiency Program , is kicking off 2024 with some exciting
changes.

Qualifying projects include Water Pump Upgrades, and VFDs with pump replacement, and
rebates have been extended through the end of 2024.

Pump Replacement Projects Qualifying Criteria can be referenced (view here) by measure.

Pump Replacement Projects: It is recommended to submit batches of projects to maximize rebate checks. The table below shows how the rebates work. For example, if a 25 HP constant speed pump with a PEI of less than 0.88 is installed, it would take about 15 pumps to receive a rebate check of $10,000. However, projects can also be submitted one at a time as they are identified.

¹Rebates for pumps ≤15 HP are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis.

VFD on Irrigation New Pump Projects Qualifying Criteria can be referenced (view here) by measure.

VFD on Irrigation New Pump Projects: It is recommended to submit batches of projects to maximize rebate checks. The table below shows how the rebates work. For example, if a 50 HP Booster pump is installed with VFD, it would take about 6 pumps with VFDs to receive a rebate check of $10,000. However, projects can also be submitted one at a time as they are identified.

Pipe and Fitting Insulation Projects Qualifying Criteria can be referenced (view here) by measure.

Pipe and Fitting Insulation Projects: It is recommended to submit batches of projects to maximize rebate checks. For example, according to the table below, for pipe insulation projects, 3,333 ft of insulation leads to a rebate check of approximately $10,000.
