What territories have gas measures?

Natural gas equipment incentives remain available in the Peoples Gas, North Shore Gas, and Ameren Illinois territories.

Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas primarily serve the city of Chicago and Lake County, while Nicor Gas covers the rest of northern Illinois, and Ameren Illinois operates in southern Illinois.

Nicor Gas will resume providing commercial kitchen equipment gas incentives in 2025. However, select food service equipment rebates are still available through their own energy efficiency program.

If you have any questions, please connect with your outreach specialist.

Tips to help you sell energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers

Maintaining food freshness while reducing operating costs in commercial kitchens is essential for many businesses.

Use these selling points as a valuable way to communicate the benefits of energy-efficient electric equipment to your customers:

• Electric energy-efficient models have advanced technologies that regulate temperature more precisely and consume less energy.
• They help keep food at its peak quality for longer, reducing waste.
• Energy savings translate into lower utility bills, making these systems a smart investment to enhance profitability and sustainability in commercial kitchens.
