NCAT Facilitates NorthWestern Energy's Incentives and Rebates in Montana

NorthWestern Energy's Montana customers can take advantage of commercial rebates and Business Partners Program incentives by contacting NCAT energy efficiency engineers to audit their facility, recommend energy efficency projects, and facilitate rebates and incentive applications.

Rebates are relatively straightforward, although they do not include all possible control and equipment strategies.

NWE offers energy conservation rebates for a wide variety of projects for their natural gas and electrical customers, including:

  • Lighting
  • Irrigation
  • Electric Motors
  • Motor Rewind Rebate Program
  • High Efficiency Boilers, Furnaces, and Water Heaters
  • Stack Heat Exchangers
  • Refrigeration Heat Recovery
  • Boiler Tune-ups
  • Energy Management System Optimization
  • Water Tank and Pipe Insulation
  • Boiler Pipe and Heating Duct Sealing and Insulation
  • Ceiling and Exterior Wall Insulation
  • High Efficiency Windows
  • Energy Star Programmable Thermostat

NCAT energy analysts will assist you in every part of the incentive and rebate process.

 

E+ Business Partners Program

Measures that are not covered by standard rebates can often be included in Business Partners Proposals. To qualify for incentives, conservation measures must meet a "total resource cost test." Custom incentives are based on the value of the energy savings to NWE's system, and can providea much shorter return on investment for participating customers. Projects can include improvements to:

  • Heating Ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems
  • Refrigeration
  • Air Handling
  • Pumping Systems
