Energy Trust of Oregon offers licensed cannabis growers and hemp growers free technical services and cash incentives for the installation of energy-efficient equipment at new and existing grow operations. Incentives are available for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse grow operations.
Indoor Grow
Energy Trust offers licensed cannabis growers and hemp growers cash incentives for the installation of energy-efficient equipment at new and existing indoor grow facilities.
| Equipment | Incentive | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Insulation | $2.50 per therm, up to 70% of eligible measure costs | Pre-approval required prior to purchasing. Final incentive will be based on estimated energy savings. Only eligible to indoor grow operations.* For additional requirements and to apply, call 503.928.3154. |
*Currently, only gas heated facilities are eligible. Energy Trust is not accepting new incentive applications for insulation installed at electric heated indoor grow facilities.
Energy Trust is temporarily not accepting new incentive applications for dehumidifiers. Please check back in March 2021 for revised incentive amounts and eligibility requirements.
Custom Incentives for Indoor Grow
If you’re planning a larger upgrade at your indoor grow facility, Energy Trust can help with technical assistance and custom cash incentives for system upgrades. Technical studies identify energy-efficiency opportunities for HVAC, insulation and other improvements, for qualified projects. Energy Trust can pay up to 100% of the cost of a study.
New construction grow facilities may be eligible for custom incentives. Existing grow facilities may qualify if upgrading a larger HVAC and dehumidifier system.
