How this is calculated
- This is a planning estimate only, not a quote of any utility's current program.
- Midpoint = estimated kWh saved per year x $0.08 per kWh, a typical planning figure for custom efficiency incentives in this region.
- If you enter a project cost, the estimate is capped at 50% of it.
- The range shown is 60% to 140% of the midpoint, reflecting how much programs vary by utility and project type.

Common questions
Do utilities pay rebates for compressed air projects?
Yes. Utilities across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri offer incentives for compressed air efficiency projects such as VSD compressor upgrades, leak repair programs, efficient new compressors, heat recovery, and nitrogen generators, because saved kWh is cheaper for the utility than new generation. Programs, amounts, and rules vary by utility and change over time.
How much is a compressed air rebate worth?
For planning, a reasonable midpoint is around 8 cents per annual kWh saved, commonly capped near half the project cost. A project saving 40,000 kWh per year would plan around a few thousand dollars of incentive. The actual amount depends on your utility's current program, so confirm before you buy.
When should I apply for a utility rebate?
Before you purchase. Most programs require pre-approval before equipment is ordered, and buying first can forfeit the incentive. Getting the paperwork moving at the quoting stage keeps the rebate on the table.
