Going Retro: AEP Helps Customers Save Energy

American Electric Power is making a huge commitment to helping companies reduce their energy usage. Through its new program, AEP has authorized firms to provide retrocommissioning services for its Ohio commercial customers. Customers who participate in the program can get reimbursed for retrocommissioning services up to $600,000 per business entity, per calendar year.

Through the retrocommissioning initiative, a firm investigates an existing building's operation and identifies improvements through a four-step process, including screening, study, implementation and verification.

Ohio Offers Energy Savings

Companies wanting to employ new energy-efficient measures and/or undergo renewable-energy projects can now find a partner in the Ohio Development Services Agency's Office of Energy. The Office of Energy provides financing through federal and state funding resources to eligible entities that demonstrate a reduction in energy usage and associated costs, avoidance of fossil fuel emissions, and the creation or retention of jobs.
