Things to know when applying for incentives
- Commercial and industrial local power company customers and TVA direct-served customers may be eligible to apply for incentives.
- All incentives are subject to TVA and your local power company approval and available funding.
- Applications must meet the minimum incentive requirements ($150 per Standard application and $1,500 per Custom application).
- Project incentives are capped at $3,000,000 per Company for each TVA Fiscal Year (October – September).
- Incentives are capped at 70% of material cost.
- To provide the best consumer experience, TVA created the PPN-only requirement for the EnergyRight Business & Industry Program. All Standard project submissions must go through a trained PPN member to receive an incentive.
- All projects, with the exception of select Standard HVAC equipment, require pre-approval. DO NOT purchase, remove or install any equipment until all pre-approval requirements are completed and a formal Application Approval Notice has been received via email.

TVA will not provide incentive payments for any projects or facilities in violation of any applicable laws, including but not limited to, the cultivation of marijuana.
