Incentives & Tax Opportunities

Identify Potential Incentives Before You Invest

Energy-efficiency projects may have access to utility incentives, rebates or federal tax opportunities depending on the property, project, utility territory and applicable requirements.

Why Incentives Matter

The economics of an energy-efficiency project can change significantly when applicable incentives or tax opportunities are available. Florida Green Energy Advisors helps commercial customers identify potential opportunities and incorporate them into the project evaluation process.

Utility Incentives

Utility programs may provide rebates or other incentives for qualifying commercial energy-efficiency improvements. Availability, funding and eligibility vary by utility territory and program.

Tax Opportunities

Certain federal tax provisions may provide benefits for qualifying energy-efficiency investments. Eligibility depends on the specific project, property, taxpayer and applicable law.

Project Economics

We incorporate identified incentive opportunities into the overall project analysis so customers can better understand potential project costs, savings and return on investment.

Utility Incentives & Rebates

Florida Green Energy Advisors can research potentially applicable commercial utility programs based on the customer’s facility location, utility provider and proposed energy-efficiency improvements.

Program availability, funding and eligibility vary by utility territory and project. Incentives are never guaranteed.

Information We Evaluate

  • Utility provider
  • Facility location
  • Existing equipment
  • Proposed equipment
  • Project scope
  • Energy consumption
  • Operating hours
  • Program eligibility requirements
  • Application requirements
  • Program availability and funding

Federal Tax Opportunities

Federal tax treatment of energy-efficiency projects can depend on the type of property, project timing, taxpayer and applicable tax law. Florida Green Energy Advisors helps identify potential opportunities for further review with the customer’s qualified tax professional.

Section 179D — Important Timing Considerations

Section 179D has provided a federal tax deduction for certain qualifying energy-efficient commercial building property, including eligible interior lighting, HVAC, service hot water and building-envelope improvements.

Important 2026 Update

Federal legislation enacted in 2025 terminated the Section 179D deduction for property whose construction begins after June 30, 2026. Certain projects may remain eligible depending on when construction began and whether all applicable requirements are satisfied.

Because Section 179D eligibility depends on detailed statutory requirements, project timing and certification requirements, customers should consult a qualified tax professional before relying on any potential deduction.
