Annual Energy Efficiency and Electrification Budget Policy
Russell Municipal Light Department establishes an Annual Program Budget for all Energy Audits, ENERGY STAR Appliance rebates, Weatherization rebates and Heat Pump rebates. Rebate funds are allocated on a strict first-come, first-serve basis. The time of allocation is determined by the date and time the rebate administrator receives a complete and qualifying rebate application.
In the scenario that a customer submits a qualifying rebate application or wishes to schedule an energy audit after that year’s annual budget has been used 1) that customers rebate will be considered at the beginning of the next annual budget year on a first-come first-serve basis, before any new rebates are considered for funding and 2) that customer will be scheduled for an energy audit at the beginning of the next annual budget year on a first-come first-serve basis, before any additional audit requests are scheduled.
