PG&E customers can qualify for NetOne program incentives, which cover HVAC, lighting, heat pump water heaters, refrigerated case doors, case replacements, ASH controls, and building management systems (BMS). NetOne also offers a groundbreaking Population NMEC (Normalized Meter Energy Consumption) program that can help streamline utility review and accelerate project turnaround.
Timeline: Available Now in California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado.
Taper helps customers and partners access energy efficiency utility incentives, with funding varying by store and state. These incentives include upgrades for refrigerated case replacement, refrigeration compressor rack replacement, refrigeration condenser replacement, refrigerated case doors, auto-door closers, electronically commutated motors (ECMs), anti-sweat heaters (ASH), heat pump water heaters, building management systems (BMS), and interior and exterior LED lighting.
Timeline: Applications open on July 1, 2025
Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, REAP funds energy efficiency improvements, such as HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration upgrades, with grants for as much as 50% of total project costs, up to $500,000. Loan guarantees of up to 75% of project costs are also available.
To be eligible, food retailers have to be located in rural areas, and they must be small businesses according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. We can help retailers figure out if they meet these requirements, provide technical support and guide them from start to finish.

Funded by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and administered by the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), FRIP provides up to $500,000 per store for refrigeration upgrades that reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. The largest grants are for complete refrigeration system replacements to CO2-based systems. Partial system replacements receive less funding but are still eligible for substantial amounts. The smallest grants are for replacing small refrigeration equipment (like vending machines) with units that use more environmentally friendly refrigerants. CARB has articulated an interest in funding independent retailers in low-income communities.
FRIP will be a competitive process, so it’s important to act as soon as possible. The sooner we can identify a project and submit an application, the more likely funding will be available.
Your business is unique, and your efficiency plan should be too. Our energy advisors are here to help you get started.
