Agriculture Energy Efficiency Rebates
Midstate Electric continues to promote energy efficiency by offering our agricultural accounts a way to update their existing irrigation systems. Our Agriculture Rebate Program provides rebates for the installation of new energy-efficient sprinklers, pivots, and equipment. To be eligible for an incentive, projects must be submitted to Midstate within 180 days of project completion. Please allow time for project processing which is approximately 2-4 weeks. Projects received outside of the 180 days are ineligible for an incentive.
