Conservation: Your dollars

Conservation: $mart Business Program

The $mart Business Program is designed to provide financial incentives to your small business for replacing existing inefficient lighting with approved energy efficient lighting equipment. Rebates range from $25 to $65 per fixture for replacement of existing lamps or fixtures with new efficient ones.

If your business is in the Maple Leaf Neighborhood, you may be eligible for an additional $5-per-fixture rebate.

Benefits
Interior lighting may account for up to 60% of your business' energy bill. Installation of efficient lighting results in:

  • Lower energy and maintenance costs
  • Improved lighting quality
  • Increased productivity and a safer work environment

Eligibility
Any small business in Seattle City Light's service area that is on Rate Schedule ESMC or ESMS (formerly rates 31 and 56) and is not part of a chain, campus or institution is eligible for this program. The rate schedule for your business can be found on your Seattle City Light billing statement, in the current rate information charts on Seattle City Light's website or you can contact our Conservation Help Line at 206.684.3800 or by e-mail to obtain this information.

How to Participate
It's easy to participate! Seattle City Light will provide you with a list of participating lighting contractors and vendors for you to obtain job estimates. Or you may choose your own licensed contractor to install the approved lighting measures. Contact Seattle City Light at 206.684.3800 or by e-mail to verify if your business is eligible and to receive an information packet.

Seattle City Light does not endorse, or otherwise recommend, any contractors or vendors. Program incentives may change based on funding availability.

Maple Leaf Neighborhood Power Project
Please tell us if your business is located in the Maple Leaf Neighborhood when you contact us about $mart Business. You may qualify for special incentives under the Neighborhood Power Project.
