Reducing energy costs is a wise business choice. But where do you find the capital, staff and time to identify and implement energy efficient projects? Energy Trust can help. 

We offer energy efficiency services for industrial processes of all kinds – including manufacturing, agricultural and water/wastewater treatment. We fund studies to identify energy-saving opportunities and provide financial incentives to help you implement them. We offer:

  • No-Cost Energy Audits and Technical Assistance

    To maintain quality work standards and optimize the return on your investment, you’ll have your own personal program delivery contractor, or PDC. These highly skilled, industry-specific specialists know what works in your business and how to capitalize on energy-saving opportunities. They can help you by:

    • Conducting scoping studies to determine the most profitable upgrades
    • Developing specifications for energy-saving projects
    • Evaluating contractor bids for installation
    • Overseeing installation and verification of the project
    • Facilitating paperwork associated with program incentives
    • Assisting with the application for Oregon Business Energy Tax Credits

    Our experts can examine your facility’s operations and energy usage, and identify ways to save you money and energy.

    Note: financial incentives will be calculated on an individual, case-by-case basis.

  • Installation and Project Management

    No time to start? No problem. Simply let us know you’d like to save money, and the PDC will analyze how your business uses energy, identify opportunities for energy savings, and recommend improvements that fit your unique needs. Energy Trust will pay up to the entire study’s cost, too.

    To make sure that the electric energy savings are accurate and the installation cost is fair, the PDC will review the proposal’s scope of work to ensure that the proposed project is based on sound technical assumptions and the electric energy savings projections are reasonable.

    With your approval, the PDC can assist in presenting his or her findings to the key decision makers in your company for you – while you concentrate on your business. What’s more, PDCs oversee installation and verification of projects and complete all the paperwork necessary to ensure timely payment of your incentives.

  • Post-installation Inspections

    Let us make sure the work was done right. In order to maintain a high standard of quality, the PDC conducts post-installation inspections of projects. PDCs can create a plan designed to ensure that you and your facility’s team understand how to properly use equipment to maximize energy savings. PDCs can prepare a Production Commissioning Oversight Plan for complex installations, oversee the commissioning process, and make sure the plan adequately addresses equipment startup and operator training.
