Renewable Energy & Storage Rebates

Central Lincoln offers incentives to customers installing qualified solar, wind, and hydro energy systems. Projects must be submitted to Central Lincoln for technical review and approval before installing the system.

Incentives are payable to customers upon submission of a completed incentive application package.

These rebate programs are based on the availability of funds and are subject to change at any time without notice.

Program Requirements

Contractors must submit an Interconnection and Incentive Application and other required documents listed on the application before starting construction or installation of the generation system with or without storage.
The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the system remains in the off position (testing is ok) until:
- The installation passes Central Lincoln inspection
- Central Lincoln has installed a net meter
Only one incentive per system will be issued. Additions or expansions of an existing system do not qualify for additional incentives.
The customer must agree to the Application of Rate Schedules: Net Metered Customers terms and sign a Net Metering Agreement.
