LED Lighting Rebates in Minneapolis — Up to 75% of Project Costs Covered
Most businesses don’t realize how much money is sitting on the table in LED lighting rebates.
We work with all the major electricity suppliers in the Twin Cities — Xcel Energy, Dakota Electric, Connexus, and more — to get you the maximum rebates available.
In 2025, we secured rebates covering up to 75% of total project costs for our clients. The rebates for 2026 look to be just as strong.
And here’s the best part: we handle all the paperwork for you.
Xcel Energy LED lighting rebates in Minneapolis
If you’re an Xcel Energy customer, you’re in luck. Xcel has some of the best LED rebate programs in the country.
What Xcel Covers:
• Interior LED fixtures and retrofits
• Exterior LED lighting (parking lots, wall packs, flood lights)
• Controls and sensors (motion sensors, daylight harvesting, dimming)
• High-bay LED fixtures for warehouses and industrial facilities
2026 Rebate Amounts:
Rebates vary based on fixture type, wattage reduction, and whether you’re doing a retrofit or full fixture replacement. Typical rebates range from $20-150 per fixture.
LED-to-LED Bonus: If you’re upgrading from older LEDs to newer, more efficient LEDs, Xcel offers a 25% bonus through October 2026. Most contractors don’t even know about this program.
Other Electricity Suppliers
Not an Xcel customer? No problem. We work with:
• Dakota Electric — Strong rebate programs for commercial customers
• Connexus Energy — Excellent rebates for LED retrofits
• Other cooperatives — Most co-ops offer LED rebate programs
We’ll research your specific utility and maximize whatever rebates you qualify for.
Energy Savings: The Gift That Keeps Giving
Rebates are great, but the real long-term savings come from slashing your energy bills.
Typical Energy Savings:
• 65-75% reduction in lighting energy costs
• Warehouses and industrial facilities often see 75-80% savings
• Office buildings typically save 60-70%
• Retail stores and restaurants save 50-65%
Payback Period:
Even without rebates, most LED projects pay for themselves in 3-5 years just from energy savings. With rebates covering 50-75% of costs, payback can be as little as 6-18 months.
Real Example: 20,000 Sq Ft Warehouse
Project: Retrofit 40 old fluorescent high-bay fixtures to LED
• Total cost: $18,000
• Xcel rebate: $12,600 (70%)
• Net cost: $5,400
• Annual energy savings: $4,200/year
• Payback: 15 months
After payback, that’s $4,200 going straight to the bottom line every year.

Don’t Wait — Minnesota’s Fluorescent Ban Started January 1, 2026
It’s now illegal to sell fluorescent lighting products in Minnesota. Your current lights aren’t illegal, but when they burn out, finding replacement bulbs and ballasts will become a nightmare.
Now is the perfect time to make the switch. Rebates are strong, energy prices aren’t going down, and you’ll future-proof your business against the fluorescent ban.
