Energy Solutions for Your Business!

CoffeeWarehouse WomanBusiness Solutions

Whether you’re planning to retrofit inefficient equipment, start a new construction project, launch a major renovation, purchase new equipment, or replace equipment at the end of its lifespan, BGE brings you financial incentives and technical assistance to help you manage energy costs and maximize energy efficiency.

Incentives typically cover up to 50% of the total cost for retrofit projects and up to 75% of the incremental cost for new construction projects. You choose your own contractor or service provider and have rebates paid directly to you or to the service provider.
