Hawaii Energy launched a Lighting Distributor Instant Rebate program to provide businesses, and the contractors who serve them, instant lighting rebates (as much as 75 percent of costs) at the time of purchase.

Hawaii Energy, the ratepayer-funded energy conservation and efficiency program for Hawaii, Honolulu and Maui counties, developed the program to help contractors and electric utility business customers reduce the working capital required to implement energy-efficient lighting projects. Lighting rebates are applied to the invoice at the time of purchase so customers do not need to complete any rebate forms.

To receive these instant rebates, contractors and business customers must purchase qualified lighting from participating distributors that have enrolled with Hawaii Energy.
