2024 Washington Wattsmart Business Vendor Incentives for Installing Lighting Upgrades!

Thanks to your outstanding participation, lighting vendor incentives for 2024 are staying at the higher levels announced in mid-2023 to continue the program's momentum.

  • $0.05 per kWh saved cash vendor incentive for Typical lighting retrofits and Midstream (Lighting Instant Incentive) projects.
  • $50 per fixture for Advanced Networked Lighting Controls (ANLC).
  • $300 for Small Business Lighting (SBL) projects.

Typical Lighting Retrofits and Midstream (Lighting Instant Incentive) Projects


Receive a cash vendor incentive at a rate of $0.05 per kWh saved for helping Pacific Power business customers in Washington save money with qualifying lighting upgrades.


This vendor incentive offer is for the Wattsmart Business Vendor submitting the project (yes, this is for you!) and is in addition to customer incentives available through Wattsmart Business. Pacific Power offers significant cash customer incentives up to 70% of eligible costs to help with the up-front expenses of your customer's project. Get more details on our website.

How it works

For qualifying lighting projects, vendors receive the vendor incentive of $0.05 per kWh annual energy savings, with a maximum vendor incentive of $5,000 per customer location in 2024. Each vendor location is eligible to receive $20,000 in total incentives in 2024. Vendor incentives are first come, first served, and the vendor incentive offer may terminate earlier than the eligibility timeline below if allocated funding is exhausted. The program will email the Wattsmart Business Vendor Network if these funds are exhausted. See the table below for examples of vendor incentives.

Eligibility Timeline

Typical lighting retrofit projects:

  • Must have an incentive offer issued between January 1, 20241, and November 1, 2024.
  • All projects must be complete, and all project documentation and invoices must be received no later than November 30, 2024.
