Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU) offers an incentive for its commercial customers to increase the efficiency of their facilities. BTU will consider any project proposed by the customer which achieves an energy savings of at least 20%. BTU will determine the incentive which will be at least 10%, and not exceed 20% o the cost. Full details are on the program website. 

The purpose of the BTU SmartBUSINESS program is to encourage customers to invest in energy efficiency improvements for their businesses, focusing on reducing the current demand of any measure by a minimum of 20 percent.

To be eligible you must:

• Be billed on a commercial or industrial rate.
• Provide proof that your project will meet the minimum requirement of a 20 percent reduction in demand.
• Provide before and after pictures of the project.
• Provide all invoices or receipts for the project.

Projects must be complete in the same fiscal year in which they are submitted (BTU’s fiscal year is October 1-September 30.) Projects completed in years prior are not eligible for this program.
