Chiller Program

By replacing your commercial chiller equipment, you could earn a rebate of up to $146 per kilowatt (kW) reduction over the baseline. Both new and existing construction projects qualify for this rebate.

How the program works

The rebate applies to commercial and industrial customers adding or replacing chiller equipment at their facility with high-efficiency upgrades that meet Tampa Electric's requirements. The program covers water-cooled centrifugal chillers, water-cooled scroll or screw chillers and air-cooled electric chillers.

• Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers
  Under 300 Tons = 0.610 kW/ton maximum with a 5.77 COP minimum
  300 – under 600 Tons = 0.55 kW/ton maximum with a 6.39 COP minimum
  Over 600 Tons = 0.55 kW/ton maximum with a 6.39 COP minimum
  
  
• Water-Cooled Scroll or Screw Chillers
  Under 75 Tons = 0.760 kW/ton maximum with a 4.63 COP minimum
  75 – under 150 Tons = 0.750 kW/ton maximum with a 4.69 COP minimum
  150 – under 300 Tons = 0.660 kW/ton maximum with a 5.33 COP minimum
  Over 300 Tons = 0.600 kW/ton maximum with a 5.86 COP minimum
