Critical Information The New Hampshire Pay for Performance is a comprehensive energy efficiency program that works with large energy consumers to increase energy efficiency in their facilities. There is a tiered incentive structure:

*Incentive 1: $0.10/sq ft, maximum of $40,000

*Incentive 2: $0.19/kWh saved and $20.00/MMBTU saved, maximum of $200,000 or 50% of the project cost

*Incentive 3: $0.05/kWh saved and $5.00/MMBTU saved, maximum of $200,000 or 50% of the project cost

Note: there is a maximum $500,000 per entity cap.
Start Date 2/28/2011
End Date

 

Minimum Efficiency (%) 15%
Additional Information Eligible participants include commercial and industrial companies, developers, municipalities, schools, universities, and other institutional entities that have an electrical demand of at least 100 kW (during any of the previous 12 months) and/or the facility consumers 1,000 MMBTU or more a year for space or process heating.

Participants must work with Pay for Performance Partners to develop and/or approve an "Energy Reduction Plan," which consists of three components:

(1) a comprehensive energy audit;

(2) a financing plan for making energy efficiency improvements;

(3) a construction schedule. Every project must develop an energy model of the building using ASHRAE compliant software and the building's baseline data must be benchmarked using the Environmental Protection Agency's Portfolio Manager tool (http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=evaluate_performance.bus_portfoliomanager).

To be eligible for incentive payments, the project's comprehensive energy improvements must result in a minimum 15% reduction in total facility source energy consumption. At least two energy efficiency measures must be included in the project. Renewable energy may be part of the project but it does not count towards the 15% reduction requirement and renewable energy is not eligible for incentives. Combined heat and power is eligible, but at least 5% of the reduction requirement must be met by another efficiency measure.
