Oregon & Washington

Energy Efficiency, Solar & Energy Trust Incentives

Most commercial buildings are paying for power they don't need. As an Energy Trust of Oregon Trade Ally, Paramount Electric Co. assesses where a facility's lighting and electrical loads are wasting energy, designs the fixes, secures the incentives, and installs the work with our own crews across Oregon and SW Washington.

Start with an assessment, not a sales pitch

We walk the facility, log lighting, controls, motors, and equipment schedules, review utility bills, and model where the savings are. You get a written report with measures ranked by payback, the Energy Trust incentive each one qualifies for, and a firm price to build it.

Solutions we design and install

LED lighting retrofits and networked controls, occupancy and daylight sensors, exterior and parking lot LED conversions, VFDs and motor upgrades, high-efficiency HVAC and heat pump electrical, EV charging infrastructure, and solar and battery storage systems we design and install ourselves, from array and inverter through interconnection with the utility.

Incentives, handled end to end

As a Trade Ally we pre-qualify measures with Energy Trust, submit the applications, and document the install so the incentive check arrives. Energy Trust incentives apply to Oregon customers of PGE and Pacific Power; Clark Public Utilities customers in Washington have their own programs, and we help with those too.

Common questions

Energy Efficiency & Incentives — Questions We Hear

What does an energy assessment cost?
For most commercial facilities the assessment is free when we perform the upgrades. Standalone assessments for larger or multi-site portfolios are quoted per site.
How much can Energy Trust incentives cover?
It depends on the measure. Lighting and controls projects often see a meaningful share of the project cost covered, and some measures pay a fixed amount per fixture or unit. We give you the incentive estimate alongside the bid, and our Tualatin warehouse retrofit is a worked example.
Do you install solar?
Yes. We design and install commercial and residential solar and battery storage systems with our own licensed electricians, including the array, inverters, panel and service work, and the utility interconnection. We also size the system against your actual load so it pays back, and we handle the incentive and interconnection paperwork.
Which utilities qualify?
Energy Trust of Oregon serves PGE and Pacific Power electric customers in Oregon. In Washington, Clark Public Utilities runs its own commercial efficiency programs.
