Application Review ProcessPre-approval is required for all projects. A pre-approval application must be submitted beforeyou purchase equipment or technology for which the incentive is being requested. Pre-approvalis not a guarantee of program acceptance. Completed applications will be reviewed in the orderreceived. The location or business name on the invoice must be the same as the applicationinformation. The incentive is reserved for the project when PECO receives a complete preapproval application and determines that the project meets the program eligibility requirements.Applicants who submit incomplete applications will be notified of deficiencies upon review of theapplication, and could lose their place in line in the review process until all requestedinformation is received. Applicants are encouraged to call the program hotline if they have anyquestions about documentation requirements.PECO will review final applications for eligibility and completeness. The final application and allrequired supporting documentation must be received within 90 days of project completion but nolater than May 15, 2021 to be eligible for incentives. Project documentation, including originaldated invoices for the purchase and installation of the measures and/or product specificationsheets, is required.The project invoice must provide sufficient detail to separate the project cost from the cost ofother services such as repairs and building code compliance. PECO reserves the right torequest additional supporting documentation necessary to ensure measure eligibility and verifythat the expected energy savings will occur. Requested information may include, but is notlimited to: equipment purchase dates, installation dates, proof that the equipment is operational,manufacturer specifications, warranty information, and proof of customer co-payment. PECOwill make every effort to maintain the confidentiality of customer information except that suchinformation must be provided to the PA PUC and its contractor, as well as PECO’s contractorfor measurement and evaluation.The installed measures are not eligible for incentives from other PA Act 129 Phase 3 EnergyEfficiency Programs.Inspections and/or PUC’s Statewide Program EvaluationPECO, its agents, measurement and verification contractor, and/or the PUC statewide programevaluator have the right to audit or inspect all projects to verify compliance with the programrules and verify the accuracy of project documentation. This may include pre-installation and/orpost-installation inspections, detailed lighting layout descriptions, metering, data collection,interviews, and utility bill data analyses. The customer must allow access to project documentsand the facility where the measures were installed for a period of five years after receipt ofincentive payment by PECO.Requirements for Custom Project Electricity Savings CalculationThe annual electricity savings must be calculated for custom projects using industry acceptedengineering algorithms or simulation models. The applicant must estimate the annual electricityusage of both the existing and proposed equipment based on the current operation of thefacility. If the existing equipment is at the end of its rated useful life, the applicant mustsubstitute equipment that would meet the applicable federal and local energy codes as thebaseline when calculating the annual energy savings. The applicant must be able to clearlydescribe the method used to calculate the savings. The applicant must provide all assumptionsused in the calculations and document the source for these assumptions. Further information oncustom measures can be found in the Application Manual, which can be downloaded fromwww.peco.com/smartideas.8

The method and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate the annual savings will bereviewed by PECO. PECO has sole and final determination of the annual energy savings to beused in calculating the incentive amount. PECO also reserves the right to require specificmeasurement and verification activities including monitoring both before and after the retrofitand to base the incentive payment on the results of these activities.PECO may need to conduct inspections both before and after the retrofit projects to verifyequipment and operation conditions. Pre-approval application must be submitted while theexisting equipment is still in operation in order to allow PECO the opportunity to view theexisting equipment.Tax LiabilityIncentives may be taxable for most taxpayers. If the incentive is more than 600, it will bereported to the IRS and the customer will be provided with an IRS form 1099, unless thecustomer is exempt.

Retrofit Lighting SolutionsGeneral Linear Fluorescent Lamp and Ballast Specification Requirements32w 4ft HPT8 and reduced wattage T8 lamps must be listed on the Consortium of EnergyEfficiency (CEE) product list or must meet CEE standards. For further information, visitwww.cee1.org.LED Lamps and FixturesThe integral lamp or fixture must appear on the Energy Star Qualified Products List or theDesign Lights Consortium Qualified Products List. Energy Star Qualified Fixture Product List: http://www.energystar.gov/Energy Star Qualified Integral LED lamps: http://www.energystar.gov/Design Lights Qualified Product List: http://www.designlights.org/Linear LED (Tubes)Linear LED lamps must be listed on the Design LightsTM Consortium (DLC) Qualified ProductsList.Type A LED’s Type A LED linear lamps are powered by a fluorescent ballast. If present, existing magnetic ballast must be removed and replaced with acompatible energy- efficient electronic ballast DLC Primary Use Requirement – DLC-listed equipment must be classified with oneof the following Primary Use designations:o Replacement Lamps ("Plug and Play") (UL Type A) Label must be affixed to the interior of fixture, in a prominent location. Label shouldindicate that the fixture has been retrofitted with TLEDs and that fluorescent lampsshould not be installed as replacements.Type B LED’s Type B LED tubes are powered by an internal driver Existing fluorescent ballast must be removed and fixture’s incoming power wiresare connected directly to the lamp sockets. Strict adherence to installationinstructions is critical when rewiring existing fixtures. The LED linear lamps must be delivered as part of a UL 1598C Classified LuminaireRetrofit Kit with instructions explaining the LED linear lamps must be installed on aluminaire that is already UL Listed. The retrofitted luminaire must be clearly identified using the label included with theRetrofit Kit, indicating that the luminaire has been modified and can no longer operatethe originally intended fluorescent lamp(s).Type C LED’s Type C LED linear lamps are powered by an external driver.Existing fluorescent ballast must be removed and replaced with a compatible external driver.DLC Primary Use Requirement – DLC-listed equipment must be classified with one of thefollowing Primary Use designations:11

Incentives are paid .10/watt reduced only on fixtures removed, noton total watts reduced for entire projects. Overall net lumen reduction must be achieved in orderto qualify for a permanent fixture removal incentive.Example:(20) Existing fixtures at 10,000 lumens each 200,000 lumens.(14) Proposed fixtures at 15,000 lumens each 210,000 lumensSince there is not a net reduction in lumens, the six fixtures removed would not be eligible for apermanent fixture removal incentive.It is encouraged that spaces meet recommended foot-candle levels as detailed by IESNALighting Design Guide.12
