Rebate Programs

Hi all,

I'm Jordan Webster, Energy Specialist as Belmont Light, and I was curious what rebate policies other MLPs have for landlords that install residential energy efficiency and electrification upgrades in their communities?

Belmont's current rebate system applies credits based on electric account # and may have rebate caps per account based on "measure lifetime" of the eligible technologies. This means that residential landlords that live outside of Belmont aren't eligible for any rebates on investments made in Belmont residences, and ones that do live in Belmont are eligible only for properties connected to their electric account and would still have application caps as though they were a singular resident.

It's my take that landlords are uniquely positioned to have an outsized impact on the adoption of home electrification technologies, yet I see that many incentive programs don't allow them to be eligible. I am curious as to how others feel about compensating landlords and if there are any best practices to prevent abuse and streamline payment?

Thanks!

Jordan
