PERC Extends Mower Incentives
Due to overwhelming interest, the Propane Education & Research Council is extending the timeframe to receive double the incentive dollars awarded through PERC’s Propane Mower Incentive Program. Initially set to expire at the end of the year, program participants will now be able to earn $2,000 toward the purchase of a new propane-powered mower and $1,000 toward a qualified conversion as the program extends through March 31, 2015.
“We’ve seen a dramatic increase in applications since announcing the double incentive opportunity at the beginning of October,” said Jeremy Wishart, PERC’s deputy director of business development. The program reduces rental centers' upfront costs of adding commercial-grade propane mowers to their fleets.
The council's data shows contractors are interested in propane power, with 76 contractors applying for incentives on more than 200 pieces of equipment in October. That marked the most applicants the program received in a single month, dating back to its inception in 2012. In 2014, almost 600 contractors have received incentive dollars in exchange for data about their usage and mower performance.
