Rebates & Savings
Minnesota Power offers a variety of energy conservation programs to commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers including energy analyses, project design assistance and rebates. These programs are designed to determine how our customers use energy and, more importantly, how they can improve their usage patterns. We understand that each business is different and we are flexible in order to meet the diverse and unique needs of our customers.
Whether your business is large, small, or somewhere in between, Minnesota Power has a program designed to help you find ways to save energy and reach your bottom line. By using a tailored approach and multiple means of delivering incentives we're able to find the "right fit" to help your business use energy more effectively.
For projects that include installation of energy-efficient equipment from the list below, customers can complete a rebate application online and expect their rebate check in roughly 6-8 weeks. For the installation of equipment that isn’t in the list below or projects that include many different technologies, a custom approach provides customers the opportunity work with our team of energy analysts to meet the exact needs of each specific project.
If you are working on a New Construction project, contact us to learn about all of the rebates and incentives available for your project.
