How the application process works:
Duke Energy's program structure varies by state, but generally includes pre-approval requirements for larger or custom projects, DLC-qualified product requirements for fixture-level incentives, and state-specific submission portals and documentation requirements. Multi-state operators face distinct paperwork for each state's program.
Echelon manages Duke Energy rebate paperwork across all Duke service territories. For multi-state operators, we coordinate submission in the correct state-specific program for each facility. We submit applications under the customer's name in each state, ensuring documentation matches each program's specific requirements.
