Chiller Program

What is it?

Up to $100 per kilowatt (kW) reduction over the baseline: that’s the incentive Tampa Electric offers customers for replacing commercial chiller equipment at their facility with high efficiency upgrades.

How does it work?

The program covers water-cooled centrifugal chillers, water-cooled scroll or screw chillers and air-cooled electric chillers. Any new or existing commercial/industrial customer on firm rates meeting the company’s requirements for participation is eligible.

Minimum qualifications for chillers are:

Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers

  • Under 150 Tons = 0.65 kW/ton with a 5.4 COP
  • 150 – 300 Tons = 0.60 kW/ton with a 5.9 COP
  • Over 300 Tons = 0.56 kW/ton with a 6.3 COP

Water-Cooled Scroll or Screw Chillers

  • Under 150 Tons = 0.72 kW/ton with a 4.9 COP
  • 150 – 300 Tons = 0.66 kW/ton with a 5.3 COP
  • Over 300 Tons = 0.59 kW/ton with a 5.9 COP

Air-Cooled Electric Chillers (any size)

  • Any size = 1.17 kW/ton with a 3.0 COP

Note: The maximum incentive will be $100 per kW reduction over baseline.

The HVAC contractor or customer submits an incentive request form to Tampa Electric. The form will be signed by the contractor or customer certifying that the equipment installed is in accordance with the program standards. The customer will sign the form verifying that the equipment was installed and the incentive recipient's name and mailing address are correct.
