Commercial & Industrial Custom Program
General information
The C&I Custom Program incentivizes tailored energy efficiency and distributed generation projects that require site-specific engineering analyses and/or projects with energy conservation measures that are not otherwise covered by the C&I Prescriptive Program incentives. Funding levels range from a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $1 million per customer. Additional restrictions apply.
Efficiency Maine offers commercial and industrial customers no-cost, no-obligation virtual consultations. Please visit this link to learn more: https://www.efficiencymaine.com/business-customer-consultation/

Grant eligibility
All non-residential facilities are eligible for Efficiency Maine’s commercial and industrial incentives. Additionally, Efficiency Maine occasionally issues targeted incentive funding opportunity notices that are limited to specific customer and project types, such as municipalities; schools and higher education facilities; manufacturing and industrial facilities; multifamily buildings with three or more units; and mixed-use buildings (commercial/residential buildings with at least one commercial meter).
Most of Efficiency Maine’s commercial and industrial incentives require preapproval before purchase. Additionally, certain (“prescriptive”) incentives must be implemented by an Efficiency Maine Qualified Partner to be eligible. For a list of Qualified Partners, please visit the following webpage: Find a Qualified Maine Energy Partner | Efficiency Maine.
All Maine facilities are eligible as long as they are served by a Maine utility.
