Time is running out on your chance to get financial incentives from PECO for making energy-efficient upgrades. For businesses of all types and sizes, PECO can help you save on upgrades to lighting, HVAC, refrigeration and more.
There are only three months left to take advantage of Instant Lighting Discounts and Financial Incentives on dozens of equipment upgrades for your business. All projects must be completed, and final applications submitted by May 15, 2021, so don’t wait. To learn more visit peco.com/biz or call 1- 844-4BIZ-SAVE (1-844-424-9728).
The Smart Energy Initiative of Southeastern PA was just awarded grant monies to give to employers to offset up to 50% of the costs of “approved” training topics. Please see the attached training plan >> SEI Training Plan of Courses and SOC Codes for Training Application 2021 for list of approved courses. If you have IT people needing training our IT partnership, ITAG, has grants too. If the topic you want isn’t listed call Jim Lauckner at 610-321-8231 and he’ll discuss the possibility of getting approval. Or email Jim at jlauckner@ccedcpa.com
We are not offering training direct through SEI, but instead the grant applicant finds the education provider they want to use and shows us an invoice and finally a proof of payment for that course. With a completed application SEI can reimburse up to 50% of the training cost that was paid by the employer of the trainee.
The cash grant is available first come, first served until the monies are spent. Our program year ends June 30, 2021.
This assistance is being made available by the Smart Energy Initiative of SE PA (SEI), an initiative of the Chester County Workforce Development Board and the Chester County Economic Development Council with grant funds received from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Attend this highly anticipated annual event to hear from leaders in the energy field. Presentations will provide a review of current and future energy trends as well as an insider’s overview of the 2021-2022 energy forecast on both the national and regional fronts.

Don’t let time run out on your chance to get financial incentives from PECO for making energy-efficient upgrades to your lighting, HVAC, refrigeration and more.
