Tridan International located in Danville is a great example of a company benefiting from Ameren Illinois' energy efficiency programs.

The company upgraded its lighting to LED light fixtures and will save approximately $10,000 a year on its utility bill.

"We have more light with 40% less fixtures on our ceiling, what can't be measured in lumens is the impact it has on our people," said Ursula Bongiovanni, President and CEO of Tridan International.

"I started out with an energy advisor who got us in touch with the contractors, who put the estimates together. The whole process was very simple and easy."

Business Incentives

The energy efficiency program provided approximately $18,000 in incentives which covered 55% of the material and installation cost of the project.

Business incentives and offerings are available year-round. There are several types of programs including:

  • Small Business Direct Install
  • Contractor Support
  • Instant Incentives
  • Business Online Store

Businesses can visit the company's website to find the program that would be the best fit for them. Non-profit organizations and municipalities may also take advantage of programs.
