Studies and energy efficiency projects

Feasibility studies

Funding is available for feasibility studies to estimate increased electricity consumption, reductions in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to grade 10 (+/- 10%), and implementation costs to grade 30 (+/- 30%).

Project incentives

Project incentives are a mechanism by which businesses can lower the capital requirements to improve payback and/or meet investment criteria for implementing energy efficiency projects.

Incentives are available for hard capital projects with a minimum persistence of five years that increase electricity consumption by a minimum of 200,000 kWh/year. Bundling of projects is permitted to achieve minimum consumption requirements.

Pilot projects

Incentive funding is available for projects that demonstrate technologies that are commercially available but not widely used in B.C. or for testing technologies that are relatively new.
