Program funding
• Michigan Public Act 295 (2008): statewide “Energy
Optimization Surcharge” added to all ratepayers’ bills
to:
• Help customers save energy, manage costs. • Help reduce generation, offset new capacity.
• This “surcharge” is rebated through the program as
cash incentives that:
• Target specific energy-saving equipment and technologies. • Encourage energy-efficiency building and systems design.
Since 2009:
• More than
$127 million
in cash incentives has been paid to
Michigan business customers.
8
For a customer to receive incentives
• Qualified measures must be installed at facilities served by DTE
Energy.
• Projects must involve a capital investment that results in an
improvement in energy efficiency of a system or building.
• The equipment installed must be new and meet the specifications
spelled out in the Catalog.
• For each site, there must be at least one meter that is on an
eligible rate schedule.
• You must be in good standing with DTE Energy and not be a
Residential or Multifamily customer.
These do not qualify for an incentive
• Customers who self-direct (and have opted out of the program)
• Load shifting/demand limiting projects.
• Renewable energy projects.
• Power quality improvements.
• Fuel switching projects.
• On-site electricity generation.
• Changes in operational and/or maintenance practices or simple
control modifications that do NOT involve capital costs.

Three types of program incentives
• Predetermined measures and incentives for the installation of various energy efficient improvements.
• Incentives typically average 20% to 50% of the incremental cost.
Program Incentives
• New facilities/major renovations of existing facilities or change of use projects.
• Adding load.
• Capital investment projects that increase energy efficiency and are NOT eligible for a Prescriptive Incentive may qualify as a Custom Measure.
• Custom Incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis and are paid per unit energy saved (ex: $0.07/kWh and/or $4/Mcf).
