Smart savings for small businesses
SRP makes energy efficiency upgrades accessible and affordable for small businesses through no‑cost assessments and rebates covering major equipment improvements.
Small business customers can receive discounts on LED lighting, HVAC tuneups, smart thermostats and more. Upgraded lighting alone can save hundreds!
Every commercial customer also has a dedicated Strategic Energy Manager (SEM) — your go‑to partner for identifying the best rebates, interpreting bills and coordinating efficiency projects.
Build efficiently with SRP’s New Construction Solutions
If you’re designing or constructing a new facility, SRP’s New Construction Solutions Program helps project teams integrate energy‑efficient strategies early — when it’s most cost‑effective.
The program brings together building owners, architects and engineers to incorporate advanced lighting controls, optimized HVAC systems, building envelope improvements and systemwide efficiencies.
Rebate opportunities include:
- Energy Design Assistance (EDA): Rebates at $0.08/kilowatt-hour (kWh) of verified savings, up to $50,000, paid to design‑phase service providers.
- Design team rebates: $10,000–$15,000 to offset the cost of integrated design participation.
- Owner equipment rebates: $0.10/kWh saved plus $150/kW in first‑year demand savings.
Ryan Companies, a local real estate company, praised the program’s streamlined process, coordinated communication, and support from a dedicated SEM — making complex projects more manageable and more cost‑effective.
Prepare for monsoon season
Arizona’s monsoon season can put business operations at risk, which is why SRP helps organizations plan ahead with:
- Outage alerts via text or email
- Real‑time outage map
- Detailed Business Outage Planning Checklist
- Free on‑demand outage preparation webinar
These tools guide businesses in creating continuity plans, preparing employees, protecting equipment and staying informed during weather‑related disruptions.
Strategic Energy Managers also play a vital role by reporting outages on your behalf and providing updates, including estimated restoration times.
New year, new opportunities for energy savings
Each year, SRP’s Business Solutions team conducts site visits, audits and annual reviews to help midsize businesses reduce inefficiencies and plan strategic upgrades. Companies using 300,000-plus kWh annually may qualify for up to $300,000 in rebates.
Common savings opportunities include:
- LED lighting retrofits
- HVAC optimization
- Refrigeration, A/C and air‑leak evaluations
Earn incentives with the SRP Business Demand Response Program™
For organizations with flexible operations, the SRP Business Demand Response Program offers incentive payments for temporarily reducing energy use during peak demand hours.
Participation helps your business earn more, while also improving grid reliability. Simple adjustments like reducing nonessential lighting, adjusting HVAC settings or shifting production processes can make the biggest difference. The program also offers real‑time energy analytics, helping businesses better understand and optimize energy patterns.
