Projects with a final completion date before January 1, 2012 must apply on a Self-Direct Application. All 2012 AEP Ohio Business Incentives for Energy Efficiency program projects must be completed and Final Applications received no later than November 16, 2012 in order to qualify for incentives identified in this application. Subsequent program year budgets and plans will be made available towards the end of the existing program year. AEP Ohio currently has filed with the PUCO to offer this program through the 2014 program year.
Program and Project Eligibility The AEP Ohio Business Incentives for Energy Efficiency program offers both prescriptive incentives for some of the more common energy efficiency measures and custom incentives for those eligible improvements not included on the list of prescriptive measures. Program incentives are available under the AEP Ohio Business Incentives for Energy Efficiency program to include non-residential accounts served on AEP Ohios regulated retail rates. Qualifying projects must be installed in a facility in AEP Ohios electric service territory in Ohio. These incentives are available to all non-residential customers who pay into the Energy Efficiency and Peak Demand Response (EE/PDR) rider and receive their electricity over AEP Ohio wires, regardless from which retail electric supplier the customer has chosen to purchase power. A customer may neither apply for nor receive incentives for the same product, equipment or service from more than one utility. Custom projects must involve measures which result in a reduction in electric energy usage due to an improvement in system efficiency. Projects that result in reduced energy consumption without an improvement in system efficiency are not eligible for a custom incentive. The project simple payback prior to the incentive payment generally should fall between 1 to 7 years, or pass cost effectiveness test(s) determined by AEP Ohio to qualify for an incentive. Incentives are calculated based on first-year energy savings and peak demand reduction. Peak demand reduction is defined as the reduction in average load over the Performance Hours by the replacement of existing electrical equipment with more efficient electrical equipment. Peak Performance Hours is defined as the time between June 1st and August 31st on weekday, non-holidays, between the hours 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
Projects involving measures covered by the prescriptive incentive portion of the program are not eligible for a custom incentive. However, the applicant has the option to apply for a custom incentive for whole building integrated projects or systems, even if they include prescriptive measures. The prescriptive elements may be capped at the deemed savings and/or incentive level.
Rev Mar/2012

Projects must involve a new facility improvement that results in a permanent reduction in electrical energy usage (kWh). Projects that are NOT eligible for an incentive include the following: Fuel switching (e.g. electric to gas or gas to electric) Changes in operational and/or maintenance practices or simple control modifications not involving capital costs On-site electricity generation Projects involving gas-driven equipment in place of or to replace electric equipment (such as a chiller) Projects focused primarily on power factor improvement Projects that involve peak-shifting (and not kWh savings) Renewables (Please visit www.gridsmartohio.com for Renewables Program)
Any measures installed at a facility must be sustainable and provide 100% of the energy benefits as stated in the Application for a period of at least five (5) years or for the life of the product, whichever is less. If the Customer ceases to be a delivery service customer of AEP Ohio or removes the equipment or systems at any time during the 5-year period or the life of the product, the Customer may be required to return a prorated amount of incentive funds to AEP Ohio. Used or rebuilt equipment is generally NOT eligible for an incentive. All installed equipment must meet state, federal, and local codes and requirements. Projects must be installed on the AEP Ohio electric account in Ohio served by an eligible electric rate type listed on the application. Equipment must be purchased, installed, and operating (or capable of operating in the case of seasonal uses) prior to submitting a final application for an incentive. AEP Ohio will issue incentive payments in the form of checks, not utility bill credits. The incentive is paid as a one-time, one-program offer and cannot be combined with incentive payments from other AEP Ohio programs. The customer may be eligible to participate in other programs offered by AEP Ohio, as long as no project receives more than one incentive.
Rev Mar/2012

The total incentive paid for any retrofit application cannot exceed 50% of the total project cost (not including
internal labor). In addition to the above project cost limit, incentive payment rates vary when a customer's calculated incentive exceeds the tiers listed below:
Tier 1 $0 - $100,000 = 100% of eligible calculated incentive value Tier 2 $100,001 - $300,000 = 50% of eligible calculated incentive value Tier 3 $300,001 - $500,000 = 25% of eligible calculated incentive value Tier 4 $500,001 - Beyond = 10% of eligible calculated incentive value Application Review Process
Applications are not a guarantee of program acceptance and incentive payment. AEP Ohio will review applications for eligibility and completeness. Completed applications will be reviewed in the order received. Funds are reserved for the project when AEP Ohio receives a complete pre-approval application and determines that the project meets the program eligibility requirements. Applicants who submit incomplete applications will be notified of deficiencies upon review of the application, and may lose their place in line in the review process until all requested information is received. Applicants are encouraged to call the program hotline if they have any questions about documentation requirements.
