Earn incentives for small industrial retrofits
Our Comprehensive Small Industrial (CSI) program offers smaller industrial customers the opportunity to expand energy savings beyond a typical equipment retrofit. In addition to incentives for energy-efficient equipment upgrades, CSI offers further incentives for additional energy-saving changes. Your entire grant can cover up to 70% of eligible project costs.
What you get
Our CSI grants apply to non-lighting equipment retrofits. If you qualify for a CSI grant, you’ll receive:
- A site visit to identify additional savings opportunities (low- and no-cost operational changes) that can be bundled with your equipment upgrade to boost the potential incentive.
- An incentive for your small industrial retrofit project, including incentives for the equipment upgrade and any additional changes that yield energy savings. The total incentive can cover up to 70% of eligible project costs, which include equipment and installation. Current incentive rates are listed below.
CSI grant



Incentive amount is based on projected annual energy savings.
How you qualify
To be eligible for a CSI grant:
- You must currently be a PSE business electric or gas customer.
- Your business site must be considered industrial, which often (but not always) means either: the majority of its electric load is associated with processing or manufacturing; or, its subsystems maintain long run-hours, rely on industry-standard technology, and keep relatively stable control set points and loads.
- Sites whose principal use is office or retail are almost always not eligible for this program.
- Your business site must use less than 1,000,000 kWh of electricity per year and less than 50,000 therms of gas per year.
- You must be pre-approved by PSE prior to the installation of all energy-efficiency improvement measures.
How you apply
