Online Lighting Calculator

BPA launched the Online Lighting Calculator (OLC) in spring 2025 as its newest tool for reporting nonresidential lighting projects. The cloud-based OLC replaces the spreadsheet-based Nonresidential Lighting Calculator (LC6.0), offering enhanced user experience, reliability, and cybersecurity.

Midstream Lighting

The midstream lighting measure is for efficient lamps and linear retrofit kits that are sold through a distributor, delivered via a point-of-sale channel and installed at nonresidential sites. The incentives vary per lamp type (e.g., linear TLED lamps and HID replacement lamps). Utilities should avoid reporting the same projects via midstream nonresidential lighting measures (i.e., UES Measure Upload Template) and the nonresidential lighting calculators.
