T-12s: Standard Rebate for all T-12 retrofit and new

fixture replacements will be significantly reduced, due to

federal energy efficiency standards.

LEDs: Exterior LED and induction lighting rebate will

likely decrease from current rate of $0.30 per kWh saved

to $0.20 per kWh saved.

Natural Gas: Custom Rebate rate may be reduced to

$2.00 per therm saved.
