The Power of Utility Rebates

Gas meter 2

Most utilities are required by law to encourage customers to reduce their energy consumption by offering rebates in exchange for purchasing energy-efficient equipment and appliances.  In addition to reducing energy demand, these rebates also inject new spending into the local economy.  A confidential client, a major utility, retained Quercus Consulting to examine the broader economic impact of its energy efficiency program.  The program pumped over $120M in direct spending into its regional economy, and the study determined that every $1 spent on rebates triggered an additional $11 in consumer spending.  In total the program supported over 5,000 jobs state-wide and caused over $800M to be circulated in the regional economy.  AECOM was a sub-contractor to Quercus on this project.
