To qualify for the Benton County PUD lighting rebate, you must meet the following criteria:

Be a resident or business located within Benton County
Install approved energy-efficient lighting fixtures
Complete the installation by a licensed electrician if required

Submit the rebate application within the specified timeframe

How to Calculate Your Rebate

The amount of your Benton County PUD lighting rebate is determined by several factors:

Type of lighting fixture (LED, CFL, etc.)
Wattage of the fixture
Quantity of fixtures installed
Program year and specific rebate rates

Rebate Amount Formula:

Rebate Amount = (Number of Fixtures × Rebate Rate per Fixture) × Program Multiplier

The rebate rate per fixture varies depending on the lighting technology. For example, LED fixtures typically have higher rebate rates than CFL fixtures. The program multiplier may change annually based on funding availability.

Example Calculations

Let's look at two example scenarios to illustrate how the calculator works:

Example 1: Residential LED Installation

You install 10 LED light bulbs with a rebate rate of $5 per bulb. The current program multiplier is 1.0.

Rebate Amount = (10 × $5) × 1.0 = $50

Example 2: Commercial CFL Installation

A business installs 50 CFL fixtures with a rebate rate of $3 per fixture. The program multiplier is 0.8 due to limited funding.

Rebate Amount = (50 × $3) × 0.8 = $120

These examples show how different factors can affect your potential rebate amount. Use the calculator below to get a personalized estimate for your specific situation.
