Retrofit Rebate

PNM Retrofit Rebate Program

Retrofit rebates can help offset the cost of improving your existing facility.

The Retrofit Rebate Program offers prescriptive (from a pre-set menu) and custom incentives to business customers for installing energy-efficient equipment in their existing facilities.

You can also apply for a Custom Rebate to reduce energy use with a system improvement that is not included on the prescriptive (pre-set) menu. Custom rebates are calculated using $0.08 per estimated first year kilowatt hour (kWh) saved.

Prescriptive rebates (selected from a pre-set menu of common retrofit measures) are for installing qualifying equipment in new and existing buildings, which include:
