The One-Stop Efficiency Shop℠ is specifically designed to address the concerns small business owners face when choosing more efficient lighting: limited financial resources and time, limited knowledge of lighting products and access to quality contractors.
Program Description
CEE developed and is currently managing the One-Stop Efficiency Shop℠ lighting rebate program for Xcel Energy (formerly NSP). After completing the free, no obligation audit, business owners who decide to retrofit their existing lighting system receive $525 per kW saved up to 60% of the total installed cost. A rebate of up to $625/kW is available for certain applications. Program participants also have the option of 3.9% financing. A detailed report is generated, based on a customer’s unique lighting schedules and electric rates, and is presented to the customer following the audit.
One-Stop Efficiency Shop℠ offers a pool of qualified contractors to reduce the hassle of collecting bids. Completed retrofits are also spot-checked by program staff to guarantee high quality installations and customer satisfaction.
Who is Eligible
One-Stop Efficiency Shop℠ is available to businesses with an electric demand of 400 kW or less in Xcel Energy’s Minnesota service territory. Customers with high savings potential include small commercial and industrial businesses with long operating hours such as bowling alleys, car dealerships, hotels, banks, light industrial plants, and office buildings.
