SECTION E. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. ELIGIBILITY
Rebates are available to non-residential electric customers of Austin Utilities, Owatonna Public Utilities
, and
Rochester Public Utilities (herein referred to as The Utility). Projects eligible under existing prescriptive
rebate programs are not eligible to receive a custom rebate. Projects that involve switching from one
fuel type to another (fuel switching) are not eligible. Projects where the energy savings result from
reduced production, change in operating hours, or equipment retirement are not eligible. All equipment
must be new and in use in The Utility service territory.
2. APPLICATION
Program is offered January 1 through December 31 of the respective calendar year. Due to
limited funding, this rebate offer can be changed or withdrawn at any time without notice and
is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The entire rebate application must be read and filled
out completely or application will be returned. Data contained in the application or attached
materials must be sufficient to verify the costs and the demand (kW) and energy savings (kWh) described
in the application. The utility reserves the right to perform an independent evaluation to confirm savings
at the customer’s expense.
3. INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
The Utility reserves the right to inspect the customer’s facility through on-site visits before and after new
equipment installation to verify rebate eligibility. The Utility also reserves the right to perform pre- and
post-installation monitoring of the installed measure in order to determine actual demand (kW) reduction
and energy (kWh) savings. The Utility reminds you to follow all local permitting and building code ordi-
nances.
4. INSTALLATION AND REBATE AMOUNTS
Qualifying energy-efficient equipment installed and operational within six (6) months of the date of
purchase are eligible for rebate. Additional time may be granted subject to The Utility’s pre-approval.
Custom rebates are based on the first-year annual energy savings. In no case will the rebate paid by
The Utility exceed the total project cost (for projects that retrofit or replace working equipment) or the
incremental project cost (for all other project types). The maximum rebate amount is $100,000 per
customer location per technology per year.
5. INVOICE AND PAYMENT
Following inspection and verification (see #3) and completed installation, the customer must notify The
Utility and submit original invoices specifying the quantity and price of all materials purchased including
equipment discounts, the date ordered, installation costs, and applicable taxes. After satisfactory review
of the application and invoices, a rebate check or bill credit will be issued to the customer. Vendors or
contractors are not eligible to receive their customer’s rebate. Please allow 6-10 weeks from the date of
application submission for delivery of rebate check or bill credit. The Utility reserves the right to apply the
rebate to past due accounts.
6. EQUIPMENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for a rebate, all equipment to be purchased as part of the custom measure shall include
documentation as to the type, make, model, and efficiency. This may require documentation of nameplate
data and/or applicable test data.

equipment purchased or installed pursuant to this program will result in energy or cost savings. The
Utility makes no warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to any equipment purchased or installed
including, but not limited to, any warrant of merchantability or fitness for purpose. In no event shall The
Utility be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. Customers are solely responsible for the
proper disposal of existing equipment. Consult the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) office for
details at 800.657.3864.
9. ENDORSEMENT
