The CitySmart Program is available to city, state, and federal government customers within the TNMP electric service territory. In addition to the incentives shown below, participants can benefit from no-cost services such as energy benchmarking, masterplanning, technical assistance, financing resources, and public relations support. Incentives for qualifying small schools and cities are at an additional $100/kW for eligible measures. Learn more.

The Small Business Program targets cost-effective equipment retrofits that replace inefficient technologies with high-efficiency technologies. Incentives are based on energy savings and awarded at the rates shown below.

Incentives are available to commercial-class customers served by a TNMP electric meter with a peak demand less than or equal to 200 kW. View qualifying service areas.

1. Project identification 
• Contact a participating contractor to conduct a no-cost assessment of your facility. If you wish to move forward, you'll be asked to sign the customer proposal that will be reviewed for completeness and eligibility.
• If your preferred contractor is not listed, we can provide training to get them set up in the program and eligible to provide incentives.

2. Pre-installation inspection 
• If required, the site will be inspected prior to installation by CLEAResult, the program implementer. Afterward, the customer proposal will be reviewed and updated to depict any necessary corrections.
• If pre-inspection is not required, photo documentation will be used to validate and authorize the project. Participating contractors are required to submit photos for all eligible projects, regardless of inspection status.
• Incentives are subject to availability and reservation. In order to receive incentives from the program, participating contractors must first reserve incentives by completing and submitting a signed customer proposal for each individual project. CLEAResult will review all submitted proposals and approve eligible projects for an initial incentive reservation. If any significant changes are made to the incentive amount, CLEAResult will update the participating contractor. 

3. Project installation
• Upon completion and written approval of the pre-installation inspection, the participating contractor may proceed with the project installation. 
• Projects must be completed within 60 days of the proposal submission. 
• Participating contractors must immediately notify CLEAResult of any changes to the project scope, equipment selection, or timeline during installation.

4. Project completion notice
• The participating contractor will notify CLEAResult of the project’s completion as soon as possible to arrange a post-installation inspection of the project. 
• CLEAResult will work with the participating contractor to update and confirm all supporting documentation that accompanied the approved customer proposal.

5. Post-installation inspection 
• If required, CLEAResult will schedule a post-installation inspection after the project is completed. A program inspector will visit the site to verify the equipment has been replaced as indicated. 
• If the project is not selected for a post-installation inspection, photo documentation will be used to verify the project was completed as indicated in the  proposal. Participating contractors are required to submit photos for all completed projects, regardless of inspection status.

6. Incentive check

TNMP will issue a check to the participating contractor approximately 4–6 weeks after the project is completed, verified, and passes a post-installation inspection.

TNMP will soon be offering two load management program options – one in energy efficiency, and one that has yet to be fully defined by the Commission.

1. This energy efficiency program runs each year from June 1 to September 30. During this period, customers should be prepared to shed load on weekdays (excluding holidays) between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Participants must commit to delivering a maximum of 18 hours of load shed spread across a maximum of five events.
   
   
   a. There will be up-to five events including one scheduled event, typically called in early June, in which customers are asked to shed load for one to two hours to demonstrate they can deliver the load reduction. And over the rest of the summer, up-to four additional load reduction events may be called. The maximum duration of any event will be four hours, and no event will extend outside the 1–7 p.m. window.
   
   
   
2. This program will run during winter period of December 1, 2023-February 29, 2024. Participants must be available to curtail up-to 24/7.
   
   
   a. There will be up-to five events including one scheduled event, typically called in early December, in which customers are asked to shed load for one to two hours to demonstrate they can deliver the load reduction. Over the rest of the winter, up-to four additional load reductions events may be called. The maximum duration of any event will be four hours.

Critical load and customers participating in other load management programs, such as ERS are ineligible. Eligibility is determined at the ESIID level. Additionally, load Curtailment that will result in negative environmental or health effects are ineligible. This restriction does not preclude the use of self-generation that is in compliance with applicable environmental and health and safety laws. TNMP prefers that Participants be capable of providing at least 100 kW of peak demand reduction at each site for which load reduction is offered into the Program. However, TNMP may accept applications including sites providing less than 100 kW of peak demand reduction in the interest of meeting its load reduction targets.

Each individual project site must be equipped with an Interval Data Recorder (IDR) or advanced meter. Customer sites not equipped with either meter may request the installation of an IDR or advanced meter at no cost.

All included project sites must be energy service companies, Retail Electric Providers (REPs), aggregation groups, and individual nonresidential customers of TNMP taking service at the distribution level, and/or be a non-profit customer or government entity, including educational institutions.

Project applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. This site will be the main source of additional information about the program. TNMP administers this program through an online program tracking system.
