Essential insights on Mass Save ESPO program, and how Analytika assists with energy incentives.
The Mass Save ESPO Program, launched in 2019, offers a $2.7 billion investment in energy efficiency for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) programs over the next three years. This initiative, a part of the Mass Save Program, focuses on optimising existing energy-using equipment and operational systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Participants in the ESPO Program may receive financial incentives for implementing measures that optimise system performance, such as HVAC tuning, controls upgrades, lighting system improvements, and energy management systems. Incentives often cover a portion of the project cost, scaled to estimated energy savings.
To apply for the ESPO Program, customers typically:
- Apply through a Mass Save program representative or online portal.
- Engage in an initial assessment or energy audit.
- Submit proposed optimization projects with technical details.
- After approval, implement the measures.
- Submit verification documentation to receive incentive payments.
It's worth noting that the ESPO Program is the only exception where paper forms are still required for applications in the Mass Save Program. For all other incentives, applications can now be completed online through the Application Portal.
The Mass Save Program also continues to offer incentives for Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx) projects under its Pay for Performance structure. Analytika is a specific example of a Monitoring Based Commissioning project covered under this structure. Analytika offers project management for energy savings measures and provides monitoring-based commissioning services to identify energy savings measures.
To ensure the success of MBCx projects, Analytika calculates annual energy savings projections and average peak demand and savings allocations for incentive applications. They also submit incentive applications for energy efficiency projects and provide before and after M&V data in the form of graphs and/or "raw" polled data.
For exact and up-to-date details including eligibility, incentive levels, application steps, and savings expectations, consult the official Mass Save website or contact Mass Save customer service directly.

Additionally, Cimetrics is willing to support utility incentive projects. If you are interested in learning more about these services, I encourage you to reach out to them directly.
- The focus on optimising existing energy-using equipment and operational systems in the Mass Save ESPO Program aligns with the principles of environmental-science, as it aims to reduce carbon emissions related to climate-change.
- The ESPO Program's incentives for implementing measures such as energy management systems and renewable-energy solutions could significantly contribute to the industry's transition towards more sustainable practices.
- Data-and-cloud-computing plays a crucial role in the Mass Save Program, particularly in Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx) projects, where companies like Analytika calculate energy savings projections and submit incentive applications.4.Finance is a key factor in the success of the Mass Save Program, as the ESPO Program offers a multibillion-dollar investment in energy efficiency for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) programs, and participants can receive financial incentives for implementing energy-saving measures.
