Best Practices: Lighting T12 Phase-Out
2007 Energy Independence & Securitization Act
Increased the standards for T12 lighting
Most current T12 lamps will be obsolete
T8 lamps will become the new standard for businesses and when itdoes, Act On Energy will no longer be able to provide incentives.
so ACT NOW!
Help educate the public on upcoming changes in the marketplace
8/3/2019 Small Business Breakout Session

Best Practices: Lighting T12 Phase-Out
Act On Energy now offering a 15% bonus on top of current incentiveamounts
This is the best incentive that Act On Energy will ever offer for thesemeasures, guaranteed!
We dont know how long this incentive and bonus will be offered
In the future, the bonus amount will decrease and ultimately the
incentive will decrease also
Every time the incentive or bonus decreases, that new amountbecomes a ceiling
The day an application is submitted is the best incentive you can get
for your project
