Con Edison small business rebates in Brooklyn
On Brooklyn's commercial strips, the biggest wins tend to be refrigeration in food businesses and HVAC controls in restaurants and gyms — electric measures, since Brooklyn gas service is generally National Grid's.
Clean Ridge Energy handles the parts that slow owners down: the walkthrough, the scope, the program paperwork and the installation schedule. You see the estimated incentive and your share of the cost in writing before any work starts.
Small Business Rebates in Brooklyn: what to know
Brooklyn mixes commercial-strip storefronts along avenues like Flatbush, Fulton and 5th Avenue with light-industrial space in Sunset Park, Red Hook and East Williamsburg, and a large stock of walk-up and mid-size multifamily buildings.
Con Edison supplies electricity across Brooklyn, while gas in Brooklyn is generally supplied by National Grid — so Con Edison's incentives here usually center on electric-saving measures.
