Want to learn more about energy efficiency options and rebates available to your business?  

 

  Consumers Energy invites you to a Chamber Lunch & Learn to learn more about the two main energy efficiency rebate programs available for business customers:
 

1.) The comprehensive business solutions program, open to all customers, includes hundreds of standard or "prescriptive" rebates. In addition, a "custom" program is available that provides the flexibility needed to allow large complex projects to take advantage of available rebates.

 

2.) The Small Business program is available for smaller businesses using less than 400,000 kWh a year. This program is a turnkey operation from a free lighting audit to final installation. This program pays up to 75% of the project cost depending on the type of facility.

 

  Consumers Energy employees will be available to help explain the programs and answer any questions specific to your business needs!

 

    Cost is $10 - don't forget to bring your bag lunch. Beverages and dessert will be provided by the Chamber.
