2013 Express Rebate Qualifications
Modesto Irrigation District’s MPower Business Rebate Program offers commercial, industrial and agricultural customers rebates for the
purchase and installation of qualifying energy efficient products. Minimum qualifications must be met. General program restrictions are
listed below. Refer to Rebate Catalog for product specific requirements and limitations.
Purchase Qualifications
 Purchase (not lease) and install qualifying product(s) between November 1, 2012 and December 15, 2013. These dates may change if
funds are depleted sooner. Qualifying products must be installed before submitting your application. The application and supporting materials should be returned within 90 days of purchase date. All applications must be postmarked by December 15, 2013 to be considered eligible. Exception: Applications for rebate items that are discontinued mid-year must be received by rebate item end date (see Rebate Catalog for details.).  For all qualifying measures, the product purchase date is determined by proof of purchase documents, such as the customer acceptance date of a contract for services, a detailed itemized and dated paid invoice, contract or the printed date on a store cash register receipt. Proof of purchase document(s) must include price per product and detailed payment terms or “type of transaction” (i.e., cash, credit, etc.). Leases and / or performance based projects do not qualify for MID rebates.  Funds received from sources other than MID rebate programs that lower the cost of the project may affect the incentive amount applicants receive. These sources include all third-party energy efficiency programs offering direct funding, financing or rebates (other than tax credits). The funded amount(s) will be deducted from the actual and documented Project Cost as it relates to the MID criteria and the maximum accrued rebate will not exceed net Project Costs. Applicants are required to inform MID of any other incentives for which they have applied and/or may receive. Inspection Qualifications
 Pre-Inspection may be required. See each measure for details.
 Customer must disclose to MID, at the time of the rebate pre-inspection (if required for rebate item) exactly what energy efficiency
modifications are planned and where exactly on the premises they will be installed. Projects that significantly differ in application, scope of install location from MID’s information may not be eligible for rebate.  All products are subject to a post-installation inspection by MID.
 MID reserves the right to request manufacturer specifications and/or data for any product.

MID makes no representation or warranty and assumes no liability with respect to quality, safety, performance or other aspect of design, system or appliance installed pursuant to this agreement and expressly disclaims any such representation, warranty or liability.  Rebates issued at the sole discretion of MID. MID reserves the right, without prior notice, to periodically review and make changes to rebate qualification standards and to determine final program eligibility.

The maximum annual payment cap for this program is determined per account, by the applicable MID electric rate schedule: $10,000
(GS-1, FL, SL); $20,000 (GS-2, GS-TOU, P-3); or $50,000 (GS-3, IC-25). Customers eligible for a rebate that exceeds this cap may
request an exemption. Exemptions to the cap require pre-approval by MID and are subject to a determination of available funding, which
may not occur until the latter part of the current year.
