Pacific Gas and Electric Company Energy-Efficiency Rebates for Your Business Agriculture and Food Processing Rebate Catalog Saving energy is good business
Why saving energy is good business. Energy is a key resource for farms and food processing facilities. Smart energy management can be a powerful tool in addressing stricter regulatory standards and rising energy costs. The benefits of managing your energy go far beyond direct cost savings. Facilities are more efficient and property value increases. Production can increase with fewer work stoppages and less health and safety risks. Equipment life is extended. You may even be able to improve product quality, thanks to better, more efficient irrigation, cooling and refrigeration. This catalog is filled with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) rebates to help you use energy more efficiently, save money in the process, realize a quicker return on your investments and stay on top of trends in sustainability. Want help? Call PG&E’s agricultural customer service center. Maybe you are looking at this catalog because you have worked with us to conduct an energy audit and you are now selecting the equipment you want to upgrade. Or, maybe this is your first look at the money-saving solutions we offer your business. Either way, we are here to help you make smart decisions about all things energy- related. Contact your local PG&E account representative or call our Agricultural Customer Service Center at 1-877-311-FARM (3276). Learn about general rebate requirements. Carefully read the specifications in this catalog to determine if you are installing qualifying products, and note the following requirements: • To qualify for energy-savings rebates, you must have an electricity and/or natural gas account with PG&E at the installation address. • All installations must be new or retrofitted and replace a previously-installed product, unless otherwise noted. • For lighting, you must attach the manufacturer’s specification sheet to each application documenting the characteristics of lamps, ballasts and fixtures. • Funding for this program is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis until allocated funds are exhausted or the program ends, whichever comes first. These rebates may be modified or terminated without prior notice. Additional terms and conditions may apply. Additional rebates on qualifying products are available for agriculture and food processing customers through our PG&E's energy-efficiency rebate programs for your business. Visit pge.com/ag for more information or call the Agricultural Customer Service Center at 1-877-311-FARM (3276). If building type eligibility is not listed, all building types are eligible. Additional requirements may apply.

Boilers and Water Heating
Direct Contact Water Heaters
In direct contact water heaters, water is sprayed downward
through a vertical chamber that serves as a flue for combustion
gases. Because the hot combustion gases heat the water
directly, this water heating system is more efficient than
traditional boilers. In addition, these water heaters can operate
at atmospheric pressure, which avoids the safety hazards
and insurance premiums that can come with operating
pressurized boilers.

Advanced Pumping Efficiency Program
A worn pump could be costing you hundreds or thousands
of dollars in excess electric charges and reducing access
to water. A pump is the heart of an irrigation system.
When it does not meet growing requirements, crops can
suffer in size and quality.
Pump testing
Subsidized tests for 25 hp or greater pumps every 23 months
so that you can maintain a reliable pump that will deliver the
right flow and pressure for optimum irrigation efficiency.
Pumping efficiency
Pump overhaul incentives are available for retrofitting of
eligible pumps of any size for increased efficiency. There
are also cash incentives, based on your annual energy use,
with maximum payout 50 percent of the project cost.

General Lighting Introduction
Light quality is one of the most important influences on workplace performance and business
success. It is vital to provide good light quality that is designed to match the task being undertaken
and to respect the needs of the occupants. At the same time, it is critical to reduce the amount of
energy lighting consumes in order to save money and to bring lighting systems up to date to meet
new state and federal energy reduction requirements.
Lighting accounts for nearly 7 percent of total electricity use in industrial and manufacturing
facilities, but accounts for almost 40 percent of electricity consumed by building (not process)
equipment. As much as 50 percent of current utility costs related to lighting can be cut with
energy-efficient lighting. Lighting rebates generally focus on various components, including the
lamps (which create light), the fixtures (which house the lamps), the ballasts (which regulate
power) and lighting controls.
General rebate requirements:
• All components must be installed and operational • Installation of new fixtures must result in a net
before a rebate application is submitted. decrease of installed wattage per space.
• All new lighting fixtures, retrofit kits and components • Customer installations that are randomly selected
must carry the appropriate designated safety certification for inspection may be required to provide a site map
label—including, but not limited to Underwriters or acceptable overview of locations noting where
Laboratories (UL), Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL), the products are installed.
or TUV Rheinland (TUV). • Installation address must have a commercial electric
• LED fixtures must appear on pge.com/ledqpl. account with PG&E.
• Installations must be installed in accordance with all
applicable local, state and national codes and ordinances.
• Manufacturer’s specification sheet must be attached
to each application, documenting the characteristics of
lamps, ballasts and fixtures.
17FIXTURES
LED Troffers and Integrated Troffer Retrofit Kits
With PG&E’s rebates, it is now easier than ever to reduce your energy costs, and improve light quality and
output by upgrading your fluorescent lighting troffer fixtures with LED lighting.
A troffer is a rectangular light fixture that fits into a modular, dropped ceiling grid. Traditionally designed
to accommodate standard fluorescent lamps, they now are also designed with integral LED light sources.
They typically are recessed fixtures, but also are available in suspended or surface-mounted configurations.
Troffers are the most common type of light fixture for ambient lighting in office spaces, schools and other
commercial spaces.
You can choose between new luminaires or integrated retrofit kits. New LED luminaires provide efficient
LED lighting in a well-designed fixture package with a straight-forward electrical installation. The integrated
retrofit kit is a great option as well. Integrated retrofit kits replace existing fluorescent lamps, sockets and
ballasts, along with the lens and frame, and they can be installed easily into the existing fluorescent fixture.
Troffers provide the required electrical components, LED light sources and optical elements, which include
new lens and door frame—all in a prepackaged kit.
Ideal use: Exclusions:
