SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PROGRAM

2025

Why should you invest in energy efficiency?

The Sustainable Energy Program (SEP) provides financial incentives to encourage residential and business customers to make energy-efficient improvements. By investing in energy efficiency, you help reduce peak demand, power costs, wasted energy and associated emissions.

How does the program work?

All projects require LES preauthorization.

  1. Visit LES.com/SEP to see the available incentives, program terms and conditions, and the list of participating contractors.
  2. For residential projects, contact one or more of the SEP participating contractors for bids and available incentives. For commercial projects, reach out to SEP@LES.com.
  3. Ask your tax advisor if the project qualifies for a federal tax credit.
