Carbon-Based Rebate Tool: Align Your Rebates With Decarbonization Goals
As an electric utility, you are at the forefront of the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. The traditional focus on energy conservation is no longer sufficient to meet today’s ambitious decarbonization targets.
To succeed, utility programs need to balance efficiency, electrification, and renewable energy measures while maximizing both carbon reductions and financial benefits.
You set the price.
You set the carbon price and the tool calculates rebates based on how much carbon each measure reduces. Consider state and federal social cost of carbon prices as potential set points, or choose your own. Improve accuracy with other easily customized inputs.
The rebate is calculated for you.
No matter where you set your carbon price, the relative size of each rebate will align with the relative carbon mitigation of each measure. The tool supports economically sound decisions by presenting calculated rebates alongside the net revenue impacts of each measure.
Easily see financial and carbon impacts.
A simple tally sheet allows utilities to track the cumulative financial and carbon impacts of their rebate program.
Designed for utilities to set rebate levels
The tool uses carbon mitigation potential as the metric to determine incentive levels for a wide range of measures, from energy efficient appliances, to heat pumps and electric vehicles, to solar PV and demand response programs.
