      • New Midstream implementer: Energy Solutions. Starting April 1, 2025, Energy Solutions will become the new implementer of the Wattsmart® Midstream program. While there are no equipment or incentives changes to the program, distributors must complete and sign a new participation agreement prior to submitting projects for payment. Distributors will receive resources and training on Energy Solutions’ application system, Iris. All claim applications for qualified equipment sold on or after January 1, 2025, will be accepted through Iris beginning April 1, 2025.
      • HVAC and other mechanical offerings. For those who participate in HVAC or other mechanical offerings with Wattsmart, you will have new points of contact with Evergreen Energy Partners for prescriptive and custom non-lighting measures. If you would like to participate, kW Engineering staff will be the representatives to support you. Aside from their in-person energy audits and site visits, feel free to reach out with any questions at WattsmartBusiness.com/Contacts.
      • Lighting-only offerings. Trade allies will continue to work with their current field specialists.
      • Whole building new construction/major renovation projects, please continue to work with jballance@resource-innovations.com
      • Enbridge Gas projects, please reach out to bgilchrist@resource-innovations.com.

    A return to “trade ally.” We are reinstating the term “trade ally” instead of “vendor.” It’s a small thing, but we feel it better represents our collaborative relationship with you.
