Deadline Is Approaching for ActOnEnergy Efficiency Incentives
PEORIA, Ill. — Downstate Illinois utility Ameren Illinois is reminding its electric and natural gas business customers looking to reduce their energy expenses that the project deadline is approaching for participation in the 2011-12 ActOnEnergy® efficiency incentives program. Energy efficiency projects must be completed by May 31 to qualify for ActOnEnergy cash incentives.
“We often hear business people say they must delay energy efficiency projects because it isn’t in the budget,” said Cheryl Miller, ActOnEnergy business program manager. “Frequently, they fail to realize that by delaying energy efficiency projects, they are postponing their energy savings. The savings lost by postponing the project for just one year may be greater than the cost of the energy efficiency project, especially when the ActOnEnergy financial incentives are factored in to the equation.”
