Program Status Update:

Peoples Gas Business & Public Sector Energy Efficiency?

Thank you for your continued partnership with the Peoples Gas Business and Public Sector Energy Efficiency Program.

As we move into the summer months, the Commercial and Industrial, Small and Midsize Business, and Public Sector offerings will remain closed. We are no longer accepting new applications for incentives or rebates unless they have already received pre-approval and a reservation letter. Trade allies may continue working on approved projects, but no new applications will be accepted in these categories.

We’re pleased to continue offering incentives for new technologies including:

  • Gas Absorption Heat Pumps
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems

While the Peoples Gas Multi-Family rebate program is currently out of funds, we are still accepting Custom applications for CHP projects in multi-family buildings. All North Shore Gas business programs remain open.

If you’re interested in learning how these technologies can benefit your customers—or to explore available incentives—please contact us.

This update applies to projects within the Peoples Gas territory only. All North Shore Gas business programs remain open.

Thank you again for your partnership and your efforts to help customers save energy and reduce costs. We look forward to reconnecting in Q4 to begin planning for the 2026 program year.
