Only DP&L non-residential distribution customers are eligible for Rapid Rebates. Any eligible customer may submit an online application. There is no limit to the number of applications that can be submitted although DP&L encourages customers to consolidate applications whenever possible. Each metered point on DP&L's system will be treated as a separate customer for the purposes of calculating limits under the Rapid Rebates Program.

• Be included on the list of eligible equipment at the time the application is submitted
• Use electricity as the fuel source and be installed in the DP&L service area
• Be comprised of new equipment purchased from a manufacturer, distributor
  or contractor
• Replace existing equipment or be installed as part of a retrofit project

• Equipment that is not on the list of eligible equipment at the time the application is submitted
• Equipment that is part of a new construction project
• Measures installed with funding from another utility incentive program or from DP&L's Custom Rebate Program
• Equipment that, when installed, results in a net increase in energy consumption or demand due to a negative effect on other systems

Before you get started, you will need the following information:

• Your DP&L account number
• The Federal Tax ID and contact information for your contractor or vendor if you are assigning your rebate to them
• The types of energy efficient equipment you are planning to install and the expected installation date

The eligibility requirements should be reviewed before completing the application. By default, the DP&L customer will receive the rebate. However, customers may alternately choose to assign the rebate to the vendor who supplied the equipment at a discounted price. The process for the rebate application is described below:

• The customer or vendor completes the Online Rebate Application and submits it to DP&L for review. Applications must be complete and include the necessary contact information, equipment specification, and equipment costs.
• DP&L reviews the application, verifies the information provided, and sends a confirmation email that the application has been approved. If the application has been approved, the funds will be reserved.
• The customer or vendor provides DP&L with proof of purchase within 60 days of the approval letter. Proof of purchase may be uploaded, faxed, emailed or mailed to the addresses below.

  Fax correspondences should be sent to:

  (937) 331-4088

  All paper correspondences should be mailed to:

  Dayton Power and Light
  Energy Efficiency Programs
  1900 Dryden Road
  Dayton, OH 45439
  

  Proof of purchase may come in the form of an invoice, purchase order or other supporting document. If proof of purchase is not received, the funds will no longer be reserved. Applicants can reapply for rebates but they will be placed in the back of
  the queue.
• The equipment is installed and ready to operate within 120 days of application approval and DP&L must be notified of the installation. DP&L must be provided with a final, itemized invoice reflecting the true costs of purchasing and installing the energy savings measure (including all materials, labor, and equipment discounts) as well as equipment serial numbers. If the installation does not occur within 120 days, the customer may request an extension from DP&L using the Online Extension Request Form. Extension requests will be handled on a case by case basis.
• If the customer has assigned the funds to the vendor, the customer must sign the Rebate Assignment Form which states that they have given permission to assign the funds to a third party.
• DP&L releases the funds to the customer or the assigned vendor within approximately 30 days of receiving the verification of installation. DP&L reserves the right to inspect the installed measure(s) prior to releasing any funds to ensure compliance with the program Terms and Conditions.
