Commercial Load Management
Our Load Management Technologies Incentive Program (LMTIP) will fund up to 100%* of the costs to add Load Management Technologies to an EV Charging Site. Load Management technologies can include energy storage systems, energy management software, and load management hardware solutions.
By adding load management technologies, you can provide a better and faster charging experience to drivers while limiting overall infrastructure and ongoing operational costs. Learn about the LMTIP by reading the program brochure.
For information on LMTIP, including budget and funding availability and technical requirements, visit the Joint Utilities of New York's website.
Please Note: Applicants with energy storage projects must review and apply to the RG&E Distributed Generation connection process.
If you are applying to both the Make-Ready and LMTIP programs, please review the requirements for our Make-Ready program and apply to both programs at the same time. If you are not applying concurrently with a Make-Ready project, please reach out to our LMTIP partner Franklin Energy at evmr@franklinenergy.com.

*RG&E covers up to 100 percent of the electric infrastructure associated with load management software and non-energy storage hardware, for approved projects. Energy storage can be covered up to 60 percent by RG&E, and all projects can stack with other incentive sources.
Electric Vehicle Phase-In Rate FAQs
The Electric Vehicle Phase-In Rate (EV PIR) is a new commercial electric rate that helps offset demand charges for eligible accounts with EV charging. It’s available to customers on select demand rates with qualifying load factors and is designed to support sites as EV charging usage grows.
Many commercial customers face demand charges, especially when new EV chargers create occasional peaks in usage. The EV Phase-In Rate provides cost relief by reducing qualified demand charges and gradually transitioning customers to standard demand charges as usage becomes more consistent.
The EV Phase-In Rate is available to select commercial customers with EV charging. Eligibility depends on how much EV charging contributes to overall electric usage, and an advanced meter (AMI) capable of interval billing is required. Some customers enrolled in other incentive programs may not be eligible. Eligibility may be reviewed if site conditions change.
