Commercial lighting rebates
Due to a potential Canada Post service interruption rebate cheque deliveries may be delayed. Mailed cheques remain the only available method of rebate payment. For general updates, please refer to the information alert page.
Our rebates can help you offset the incremental cost of upgrading to high-efficiency commercial LED lighting, signage and controls, and save on electricity costs for the long term.
Eligibility
- You must be a commercial, industrial or irrigation FortisBC or municipal electricity customer of Grand Forks, Penticton, Summerland or Nelson Hydro.
- You must be an owner or long-term leaseholder of an existing commercial or industrial building or a builder/developer or owner of a new commercial or industrial construction project.
- You must submit an application and supporting documentation no later than 365 days after the purchase date of the product(s) (as shown on the paid invoice) or installation date, whichever is first.
Review all the terms and conditions.
Rebate details
Most of the lighting products eligible for rebates must be listed with the DesignLights Consortium® or ENERGY STAR®. Not all lighting types qualify for rebates.
If the type of lighting you are looking for is not on the list, email us at [email protected]. We will look into your request and evaluate it for future inclusion.
Rebates are available to both new construction and retrofit projects unless otherwise stated in the product requirements.
