Join us for an informative session on the Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) and NYSEG Commercial, Industrial, and Small Business Rebate Programs, designed to help organizations maximize energy savings and incentives in 2026.

This event will walk through key program updates for 2026, including changes to rebate offerings, eligibility, and timelines. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the rebate application process, with a practical breakdown of project details, helping you avoid delays and missed opportunities.

We’ll also provide an overview of two high-value programs:

• Energy Management Partnership (EMP) Program, which supports ongoing energy performance improvements
• Small Business Program, through the Small Business Rebate Program, eligible customers can receive rebates for installing HVAC equipment, refrigeration and weatherization measures at their small business.
• Commercial & Industrial Rebate Program, offers rebates to non-residential electric and natural gas customers to make projects more affordable and shorten payback periods for upgrading to newer energy-efficient equipment.

Whether you’re a business owner, facilities manager, contractor, or energy professional, this session will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate rebates confidently and plan energy projects more effectively in the year ahead.

This is a virtual event. Zoom details will be shared via email with all registrants prior to the event.
