This new incentive program for commercial building and industrial facility energy-saving retrofits in Idaho is designed to be easy to use. Through Easy Upgrades you can save energy, earn incentives, and improve your bottom line. It’s that easy!
- Assess your energy-saving opportunities. Some simple lighting project savings estimates can be done using our online Lighting Calculator. For more precise estimates of savings and incentives, your equipment supplier or contractor can help. Your Idaho Power customer representative can also help. You can contact the representative for your area at 388-2323, or 1-800-488-6151 outside the Treasure Valley.
- Complete the Easy Upgrades Preliminary Application (Pre-App) and relevant worksheet(s) describing the applicant, location, and planned scope of the project. The Pre-App can be completed online or by using the fillable PDF feature. When using the online form you can submit it to us directly. For the PDF form, you'll need to print the form and fax or mail it to us. Or, if you prefer, you can print out and complete your Pre-App by hand and then fax or mail the completed forms to Idaho Power (see details below).
- Your application will be reviewed, assigned a project number, and the applicant will be notified to proceed with the project. Note: Projects earning an incentive of $1,000 or less may complete the project and submit the necessary Final Documentation (PDF, 65KB) without submitting a Preliminary Application. All other projects require pre-approval from Idaho Power prior to payment.
- Idaho Power reserves the right to inspect your project. A limited number of inspections are anticipated. They may be done prior to the installation, while the work is underway, or after the new equipment is installed. Site selection will be based on the size and complexity of the proposed project. If selected, Idaho Power will provide advance notice and work around your schedule.
- When your project is completed, complete and sign a Final Documentation (PDF, 65KB) form. Submit this form with the appropriate worksheet(s), project invoices, specification sheets and other necessary information to verify that qualifying energy efficiency measures were installed. The completed Final Documentation (PDF, 65KB) form and supporting materials should be faxed, e-mailed or mailed to Idaho Power (see below).
- Idaho Power will review documentation and approve payment. Applicants should receive their Idaho Power incentive checks within 30 days after all project materials are submitted.
