Transforming lighting in Vermont
As one of the longest-standing offerings from Efficiency Vermont, our lighting program is entering a new phase that shows just how far we've come in transforming lighting efficiency across Vermont. While some things are changing, Efficiency Vermont continues to support specialty interior lighting, lighting controls, exterior lighting, and agricultural lighting projects.
Rebates ending in 2026
Beginning January 1, 2027, fluorescent lights will no longer be sold in Vermont. Additionally, Efficiency Vermont will no longer offer rebates on 4-foot lamps.
To access rebates for 4-foot lamps, businesses must have a signed Incentive Agreement by December 31, 2026. Once the agreement is signed, businesses have 12 months to complete the project.
If you’re planning a lighting upgrade with 4-foot lamps, contact us to get these rebates before they expire.
Available lighting offers
Efficiency Vermont's Commercial Lighting Program has a few different ways you can engage with us and access rebates for upgrading your lighting technologies and reducing your energy burden.
The quickest and most direct way to access the lighting rebates is through the Commercial Lighting Form, which is a self-serve form that businesses can fill out with their contractors or suppliers to receive standard rebates on select exterior lighting and lighting controls products.
We also have two limited-time offers, which provide increased incentives on TLEDs and Agricultural Lighting products.
- TLED Lighting Offer (PDF): Efficiency Vermont is offering increased incentives for TLED replacements on pre-approved projects
- Agricultural Lighting Offer (PDF): Efficiency Vermont is offering increased incentives for the upgrade of agricultural lighting on pre-approved projects
And lastly, the Custom Lighting Program is our full-service offering that is curated to meet your exact needs and is run through a custom analysis to ensure the project is viable financially, so you can save money while reducing your energy burden.
Through the Custom Lighting Program, Efficiency Vermont engineers will work with you to determine the amount of energy savings your project will generate. Once the numbers have been crunched, Efficiency Vermont will provide a rebate amount. Typically, the higher the energy savings, the higher the rebate amount!
