Staff Report From South Carolina CEO

Thursday, March 7th, 2019

Small businesses and nonprofit organizations throughout South Carolina continue to benefit from SCE&G’s Small Business Energy Solutions Program. The program has provided more than $5.5 million in incentives since 2014, helping customers grow their companies and expand their reach.  

“We’re committed to helping small businesses and nonprofit organizations save energy and money,” said Program Manager Annika Goodson. “We’re constantly looking for ways to provide our customers with even more energy-saving products, so we’ve expanded our LED lighting options to include tubular LED bulbs.”

Key program benefits include:

Free, on-site energy analysis of lighting or refrigeration usage.

Simple, cost-effective options and easy-to-follow recommendations to help manage lighting or refrigeration-related expenses.

Financial incentives that cover up to 80 percent (not to exceed $6,000) of the cost of most lighting or refrigeration retrofit projects with a fast return on investment.

Pre-qualified contractors to perform the work at the convenience of the business, as well as removal and environmentally friendly disposal of old fluorescent lamps and ballasts.

The program is available to SCE&G’s small business and small, nonprofit customers with five or fewer SCE&G electric accounts and an annual energy use of 350,000 kilowatt hours or less.
