We'll help you boost your bottom line with energy efficiency incentives from TVA EnergyRight®. Whether you’re upgrading equipment, expanding operations or recovering from a setback, the EPB Energy Pros for Business will advise you on the options that best match your goals.

Custom incentives

The EPB Energy Pros for Business can help you get rebates that fit your facility upgrades and savings goals. If you're planning a project that doesn’t fit a standard mold—like optimizing chillers, upgrading control systems or modernizing HVAC—we'll help you get rewarded for it. You can cut operating costs, reduce energy impacts, and get money back for improvements that boost performance.

TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • Up to $0.18 per kWh based on first-year energy savings
  • Thermal ice storage

    Lower cooling costs by shifting energy use to off-peak times. This smart cooling strategy uses off-peak electricity to create ice at night—then uses it to cool your building during the day. That means lower demand charges and more stable energy costs.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $9.00/ton-hour for partial storage
  • $11.00/ton-hour for full storage systems

    HVAC incentives

    Improve comfort and air quality—while lowering your seasonal energy peaks. Heating and cooling accounts for a large share of business energy use. Energy-efficient systems not only save money, but also reduce maintenance needs and create a more comfortable space for employees and customers.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $80/ton for HVAC energy efficient replacements
  • $175/ton for Advanced Tier unitary A/C and heat pumps, $200/ton for air-cooled chillers
  • $250/ton for variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and dual fuel heat pumps
  • $1,000/ton for ground source heat pumps
  • Pre-approval is not required, and you can apply up to 6 months after installation or the invoice date
  • Electric forklifts

    Cut indoor air quality, costs and noise without cutting productivity. Electric forklifts are quieter, cleaner and cheaper to operate than gas-powered ones. Whether you're upgrading or expanding your fleet, we'll help offset the cost.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • Up to $2,000 per electric forklift purchase
  • Up to $1,000 per lease (must replace gas or expand electric fleet)

    LED lighting

    Save on energy and replacement costs with longer-lasting lights. LED upgrades improve visibility, reduce heat output and significantly lower electricity costs. You’ll see long-term savings indoors, outdoors, new construction projects or across large parking areas.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $0.15/kWh for indoor lighting
  • $0.13/kWh for outdoor and street lighting
  • $0.10/kWh for new construction lighting
  • Refrigeration incentives

    Cut refrigeration energy costs and maintain product quality. Whether you're operating a store, restaurant or distribution facility, upgrading your refrigeration systems can help lower your bills and improve reliability.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $50 per electronically commutated motor (ECM)
  • $200 for fan controllers
  • $100-$200/linear foot for medium/low-temp reach-in cases
  • Refridgeration.jpg

    Variable Speed Drives (VSDs)

    Match motor speeds to actual needs—reducing waste and extending equipment life. VSDs (also known as VFDs or ASDs) control the speed of motors used in HVAC, pumps and fans. This means smoother operation, lower energy use and fewer mechanical breakdowns.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $100 per horsepower (HP) installed on existing HVAC systems
  • Fast Tracked Compressed Air

    Industries that take a comprehensive approach to optimizing compressed air systems can significantly reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs. Pre-approval is not required, and you can apply up to 6 months after installation or the invoice date.

    TVA EnergyRight incentives:

  • $300/unit for no loss condensate drains
  • $75/unit for engineered air nozzles
  • $8/HP/unit for low pressure drop filters
  • $4/cfm/shift for cycling refrigerated dryers
  • Fast Track Compressed Air.jpg
