FAQ
AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL RESOURCE FAQ
“AIR” program stands for Agricultural and Industrial Resource program (also serves Commercial). Facilities interested in energy efficiency support are eligible if the site is a commercial, agricultural, or industrial business or operation and is located in
MCE’s service area.
Additionally, MCE has partnered with PG&E to offer PG&E’s 0% On-Bill Financing loan for qualifying energy efficiency projects with MCE’s incentives.
The program serves a wide range of building types and so offers a wide range of energy efficiency measures such as HVAC controls, VFDs on pumps and motors, LED lighting, retrocommissioning, floating head pressure controls, pipe insulation, and many more. Our team will work with you to identify opportunities specific to your facility.
- Here is a list of measures that qualify for rebate payments: MCE’s AIR Deemed Rebate List
- Projects not on the rebate list may qualify for custom calculated incentives. These projects are typically larger than the rebate projects and require pre-approval. The incentive is paid based on the estimated energy savings at a rate of $0.15/kWh and $1.50/therm saved.

Together, these measures contribute to significant energy savings without requiring substantial financial investments.
While the level of staff involvement can influence the extent of energy savings achieved, we strive to ensure that participation remains manageable and beneficial. As an incentive, participants can earn milestone payments totaling up to $6,000 per 2-year program cycle. These payments are rewarded for attending recurring check-in meetings, engaging in educational modules, and providing relevant energy and site-specific data as required such as solar and production data.
Throughout the two-year program cycle, SEM also offers a range of educational modules and site-specific activities aimed at supporting the participants’ energy management efforts.
