What if I want the rebate check made payable to someone else?

Duquesne Light prefers that rebate checks be made payable to the name on the Duquesne Light account. However, if a Duquesne Light business customer is certain that they want their rebate paid to another party they should do the following:

Prepare a letter on their business letterhead. Address it to:

Duquesne Light Company
Energy Efficiency Department
Mail Drop 15-3
411 Seventh Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Include the Duquesne Light account number where the Rebate Projects are installed.

Indicate in the letter that they understand that because of energy efficiency improvements on their premises served by Duquesne Light that they are likely eligible for a Watt Choices rebate of approximately $_________ and they want the rebate check not made payable to them, but instead made payable to: ____(name and address)____.

Sign and date the letter.

Give us a telephone number we may call if we have questions.

Submit the letter with their Rebate Application Form.

What's a Conservation Service Provider (CSP)?

A CSP is defined as an entity that provides information and technical assistance on measures to enable a person to increase energy efficiency or reduce energy consumption. Duquesne Light has selected CSPs to work with specific business segments in the Watt Choices program. To identify your CSP, find your business segment in the list on the left hand vertical menu with the yellow background and "Business" at the top (Commercial, Industrial, Government/Nonprofit/Education Establishments,"). Click on your segment to get the name and number of the company that is probably your CSP. If you aren’t certain which business segment you are in, send the question with your name, phone number and account number to wattchoices@duqlight.com.

I want to install energy saving equipment that is not listed in Duquesne Light's Business Rebate Catalog. Can I get a rebate for it?

It's possible. Work with your business segment's CSP to determine if your energy saving equipment will qualify for a custom rebate and the rebate amount.
