TEC continue to provide technical assistance plus financial incentives to help tax-exempt organizations implement energy efficiency measures in 2009.
Originally a 2006-2008 cycle CPUC funded program, CCSE’s Tax-Exempt Customer Incentive ( TEC) program has been extended through 2009 pursuant to the CPUC’s Bridge-Funding Decision. Generous incentives are available to local government entities, military, as well as public and private K-12 schools provided they submit new applications by August 30, 2009 (although by April 30, 2009 is recommended) and complete installations by December 31, 2009.The TEC program provides technical and administrative assistance, plus financial incentives to help these tax-exempt organizations implement energy efficiency measures. The program addresses the barriers to becoming energy efficient that tax-exempt organizations face, including time, staffing, technical resources and funding. TEC provides the extra resources needed to take projects from concept to successful implementation. All this can dramatically shorten the payback period and reduce greenhouse gasses ( GHG) linked to climate change.

To be considered for TEC eligibility, projects must plausibly deliver at least 500,000 kWh or 25,000 Therms of annual energy savings. Some projects can be combined to meet this minimum energy savings requirement. Also, all energy efficiency measures must be retrofits or replacements of existing operating equipment. New construction, CFLs, fuel-switching installations and cogeneration projects do not qualify.
