C&I Custom Program Technical Assistance
Efficiency Maine’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Custom Program offers incentives for Technical Assistance Studies to those customers that have already identified a project but need engineering services before it can be implemented. Efficiency Maine may provide 50% of the cost of an approved Technical Assistance Study up to $25,000. Eligible studies include:
- Investment-grade analysis of large and more complex projects
- System designs and construction bid documents of targeted measures
- Battery system designs and interconnection studies
For a project to be eligible for Technical Assistance funding, Efficiency Maine must confirm that its implementation is likely to be eligible for a C&I Custom Program incentive award.
