Rebate Program
United Power members qualify for rebates from United Power and our wholesale power supplier, Tri-State Generation & Transmission. Members will receive both rebates on the following energy efficient equipment and appliances. All credits must be requested within 180 days of installation. An inspection report signed by a United Power Representative is required in order to qualify for rebate programs.
Customers are encouraged to contact a United Power Energy Management Expert prior to purchasing and installing any new equipment, so you can be assured of meeting all the requirements of the programs.

Statewide Rebate Program
The Governor's Energy Office (GEO) will launch a statewide rebate program on select energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies on April 19, 2010. United Power members are highly encouraged to apply for both rebates. Please note that the United Power and GEO rebate programs require separate applications and the GEO rebates are not retroactive. Purchases made before April 19 will not qualify for GEO rebates. Learn more about the GEO Rebates by visiting the GEO website.
