The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers the Energy Right Solutions Program for commercial and industrial facilities.  Prescriptive rebates are available for lighting, motors, HVAC, and kitchen equipment.  Custom incentives providing $0.10 per kWh saved are also available.  Both prescriptive and custom incentives are capped at 70% of a project's cost.  

Dominion Virginia Power provides a number of rebates to customers for the installation of energy efficient equipment and measures. Incentives are available for Energy Audit, Duct Sealing, Lighting, Window Film, HVAC, and Distributed Generation.

Non residential customers are also provided rebates for testing and sealing leaky air ducts. Systems evaluated will include air handlers, air intake, return and supply plenums, and any connecting duct work. Incentives vary depending on the unit size of their HVAC system. Rebates range from $75/ton - $90/ton.

Additional incentives are available for installing solar reduction window film. These films reduce the solar radiation passed in through the windows, which in turn lowers stress on HVAC equipment on heating degree days. Rebates are calculated based on rated SHGC improvement and total installed per sq. ft. 

The Distributed Generation Program offers monthly incentives for non-residential customers for allowing to remotely dispatch their backup generator during peak periods in the grid. The incentives can be used to install new backup generation or make use of existing backup generators.
