Many projects can leverage a combination of tax deductions, tax credits, and utility or grid programs to improve ROI. Common examples include:
• Federal tax deductions such as Section 179D for energy-efficient commercial buildings, where qualified improvements can be written off more quickly.
• Federal tax credits such as Sections 45Y and 48E, depending on project structure, energy mix, and location.
• Regional compliance and incentive programs, including warehouse and air-quality programs like WAIRE where applicable.
• Utility incentives and rebates, such as efficiency retrofit programs or offerings similar to LADWP’s BOSS, depending on territory.
• Grid-support and demand-response payments where reduced demand, improved power factor, or flexible load support grid reliability in your ISO or utility region.
