Ways to Save
Feasibility Study
If you’ve got recommendations from an Energy Audit, we’ll reimburse part of the cost of the analysis of those recommendations.
PLEASE NOTE:
- As of April 4, 2019 the funding for natural gas Custom Rebates projects (including Energy Audits and Feasibility Studies) scheduled to be completed in 2019 has been allocated to customer projects.
- As of May 1, 2019 the funding for electric Commercial New Construction and Custom Rebates projects (including Energy Audits, Feasibility Studies, Find-n-Fix and Retrocommissioning) scheduled to be completed in 2019 has been allocated to customer projects.
Customers with new potential 2019 projects may still apply for pre-approval and should contact the Customer’s Account Manager or call 1-866-ALLIANT for assistance. In the event funding becomes available, we will add 2019 projects on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are still accepting pre-approval applications and enrollments for projects that are anticipated to be completed in 2020 and beyond.
A Feasibility Study is a detailed analysis that quantifies the benefits of the energy-efficiency upgrades recommended in an Energy Audit. The study analyzes current energy use, expenses and projected energy savings to determine the cost-effectiveness of a potential project.
We’ll reimburse 50% of the pre-approved study cost, up to $7,500. If your business implements 75% or more of the total energy-savings projects identified in the study within 18 months, we will reimburse the remaining cost of the study, up to $7,500. Projects identified through a Feasibility Study are eligible for Custom Rebates.
Projects not eligible for a Feasibility Study include:
- Installation of a product or piece of equipment to verify its performance
- New construction projects
- Pilot projects and analysis of new technology
- Process changes not related to energy
- Research and development
How do I qualify?
You can use a qualified third-party firm to conduct the Feasibility Study, but pre-approval by Alliant Energy is required.
A Feasibility Study must be conducted in a building that Alliant Energy supplies the primary heating or cooling energy.
