Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do all incentives require paperwork showing that existing lamps were correctly recycled?
A: No. The only situations where documentation of recycling is necessary for an incentive to be paid is when it relates to a Lamp Upgrade Incentive. That means going from F32 T8s to F32 T8 28 watt or F32 T8 25 watt. Then it is necessary so that we are assured that the more efficient lamps were placed in service prior to an incentive being paid. Without the recycling statement the more efficient lamps could have been placed in a warehouse and not installed. See the Lighting configurations sheet for more information.
Q: As a Lighiting Trade Ally I informed my customer about the OPPD Lighting Incentive Program. They said they were not interested, so no paperwork was submitted to OPPD for preapproval. When I sent the invoice, the customer asked when they would be receiving their incentive. What should I tell them?
A: This customer will not be receiving an OPPD incentive under any circumstance because their project was not preapproved by OPPD. They cannot change their mind after the installation. As a Lighting Trade Ally you will want to make it perfectly clear with every customer that no preapproval means no incentive. Preapprovals will arrive via email, so there is always documentation to show whether or not the preapproval occurred. We strictly enforce this policy in order to make the program fair to all of our customer owners and to ensure the incentive dollars are used for energy efficiency projects that would not have occurred without them.
