Cooling Efficiency

Cash rebates for Minnesota business customers who install energy-saving cooling equipment

Code changes will raise the bar for rebates – act now to get them while they’re still available.

Minnesota is adopting a new higher energy code, which means our cooling rebates soon will be lower or unavailable. We don’t know dates for the change, but want you to know so you can start working on cooling upgrades now, when current higher rebates are still available.
