CenterPoint Energy is launching a new program aimed at helping local businesses reduce their energy costs. The company says its Buildings Financial Rewards Program will offer financial incentives to eligible Indiana businesses that make qualifying energy-efficiency improvements. According to CenterPoint, eligible upgrades include improved insulation and windows, LED lighting, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, smart thermostats, heat pumps and geothermal systems. The program is open to eligible CenterPoint electric and natural gas customers, including commercial and industrial businesses, government building owners and businesses that lease separately metered commercial space. Company officials say the payments are intended to help offset the cost of energy-efficiency improvements while helping customers save money on future energy bills. The program is part of CenterPoint's broader effort to improve customer affordability in southwestern Indiana.

Officials say the programs will focus on workforce training and reducing barriers to employment after incarceration. About 140 Ivy Tech instructors currently provide educational services to approximately 6,500 inmates at 15 adult correctional facilities across Indiana.
