Description
The Energy Efficiency Investment Fund (EEIF) Rebates program, administered by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), provides financial incentives to help non-residential facilities in Delaware upgrade outdated and inefficient equipment to modern, energy-saving alternatives. The program offers rebates for a wide range of projects, including energy assessments, prescriptive equipment upgrades (lighting, HVAC, water heating, appliances), custom site-specific improvements, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The goal is to reduce operating costs, lower energy consumption, and improve environmental performance in commercial, industrial, governmental, and nonprofit facilities.
