LADWP CLIP Lighting Upgrade Support for Los Angeles Commercial Properties
Sammy Electrical Services helps qualifying LADWP commercial customers plan energy efficient lighting upgrades that may be eligible for LADWP's Commercial Lighting Incentive Program (CLIP). This program is designed for larger non residential LADWP customers with significant lighting loads, older fixtures, high operating hours, and commercial spaces that can benefit from LED lighting upgrades and lighting controls.
CLIP Support for Commercial Lighting Upgrades
LADWP's Commercial Lighting Incentive Program can help offset the cost of replacing outdated commercial lighting with newly purchased and installed energy efficient lighting equipment and controls. Eligible projects may include LED fixture replacements, high bay lighting, exterior pole lights, wall packs, downlights, lamp replacements, occupancy sensors, daylight controls, and network lighting control systems when they meet LADWP program requirements.
Sammy Electrical Services can evaluate your existing lighting, review your electrical needs, and help determine whether your commercial property may be a good fit for CLIP.
Sammy Electrical Services does not guarantee LADWP incentive approval or funding availability. CLIP applies to LADWP service territory (City of Los Angeles) only.

LADWP CLIP Qualification Requirements
To qualify for LADWP CLIP incentives, the project must meet LADWP program requirements. In general, qualifying customers must be non residential LADWP customers in good standing with qualifying monthly demand or Facilities Charge requirements.
Lighting equipment must be new, eligible, and approved by LADWP before purchase, installation, or operation. Incentives are based on LADWP approved calculated annual energy savings, and the project must meet required energy savings thresholds.
Projects may also require existing fixture counts, product specifications, photos, application forms, pre verification, post verification, final invoices, and proof that the installed equipment meets LADWP requirements.
Because program rules and funding can change, Sammy Electrical Services can review your project before work begins and help determine whether your lighting upgrade may qualify.
