Small Business

Small Business. Big Savings.

Improving your business’s energy efficiency helps you save now and for the long haul. Whether you are a commercial, nonprofit, or government customer, small businesses get up to 70% of the total project costs covered by Pepco's Small Business program when upgrading to more energy efficient equipment. You can also get funds to pay for upfront costs. The Small Business Energy Advance is repayable through your electric bill, with zero interest for up to 24 months.

The Small Business program is for businesses that use 100 kW or less per month. Simply check your monthly bill or contact us to confirm you use an average usage.

SPECIAL LIMITED TIME OFFER

Through November 17, get an extra 15% in financial incentives, on all incentivized energy-efficient equipment—LED lighting, HVAC, commercial kitchen equipment, and more. *

Don’t miss out. Contact a Service Provider today to get your upgrades started.

*All equipment is eligible for the bonus, which is offered to Pepco’s Small Business customers. The additional 15% incentive increase will not be granted if project installations are incomplete or if final paperwork is not submitted by Nov. 17, 2023.
