May 31 Deadline: Annual Retail Propane Sales Report
PERC is partnering with Frost & Sullivan to conduct our annual retail propane sales report, which ensures your state receives an accurate amount of state rebate funding from PERC to fund vital projects in your state that support your business operations and growth.

In 2020, over $7 million in state rebate funds went to state PERCs and state foundations to support Safe Installation Appliance Rebate programs, workforce training opportunities, and consumer safety outreach.

All propane retailers were sent an initial email invitation from 2020salesreport@frost.com and a follow-up email invitation from Rachel Greenberg, PERC’s senior market research analyst, with a unique link to complete their company’s report.

If you are unsure who at your company received the invitation or if you did not receive it, please email Rachel Greenberg or call 202-452-8975.
