Business Bucks
Participate in the Business Bucks Program
BWP has hired Richard Heath and Associates (RHA) to run the Business Bucks Program on our behalf. For more information on Business Bucks—including finding out if your business is eligible to participate—please contact RHA at (877) 290-2590, email [email protected] or visit bwpbusinessbucks.com.
Step 1: Get a No-cost Energy Survey
BWP will send a certified resource manager to your facility to conduct a no-cost energy survey, looking at lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration, motors and the building envelope. A report will be generated listing the recommended efficiency retrofits, the cost to perform the retrofit, anticipated annual energy savings, and simple payback.
Step 2: Choose Retrofits for Your Business
Businesses can select which recommendations they would like to install and BWP's certified installers will conduct that work at the facility. Depending on energy usage levels (see table). BWP will pay up to $5,000 for recommended retrofits selected.

Step 3: Participate Again!
Past participants may now be eligible for a second round of funding based on their energy usage tier level. Unspent incentives from the first round of budgeted funding can be added to this amount. To be eligible businesses must have remaining cost effective measures identified in the audit.
Business Bucks FAQ
All Burbank businesses with annual electricity usage below 250,000 kilowatt-hours are eligible to participate in this program. Any qualified business location with a BWP commercial electric rate, is allowed to participate and receive funding up to their tiered incentive cap. Businesses that participated over one year ago are eligible for a second round of funding.
BWP provides eligible businesses with a no-cost energy survey of your facility followed by up to $5,000 in retrofits that will reduce your organization’s energy use. If you elect to install measures above your Business Bucks limit, you can still use RHA’s installation services at BWP’s negotiated pricing. Your organization would only pay any cost above the Installation Incentive Cap, although you may also be eligible for a BWP rebate on your investment through our Business Rebates program.
There is no catch. The program is truly this good. BWP pays for the cost of the energy survey of your facility and BWP pays up to the Incentive Cap for retrofits you select. You pay nothing, just reap the rewards of a more efficient building and reduced energy costs. Over one-third of all Burbank businesses have already taken advantage of this program, so join the ranks of those energy-wise facilities!
BWP can serve about 55 Burbank businesses annually with Business Bucks. We will help any eligible customer on a first come, first served basis. To find out if your organization is eligible to participate, contact RHA at (877) 290-2590 or [email protected].
