Incentive Information

Cowlitz PUD offers rebates to improve inefficient lighting systems to help you save money and energy. Review our Commercial and Industrial Lighting brochure for more information.

A simple agreement between the customer/business and Cowlitz PUD must be signed BEFORE starting on the project in order to qualify for available rebates. In addition, complete and include the lighting calculator which is required for each project agreement.

Customer’s account must be in good standing to qualify for a rebate. Cowlitz PUD reserves the right to withhold rebate funds and apply to past-due account balance.
