ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Buildings

As demand for this program has been less than expected, the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Small and Medium Organizations program will finish March 31, 2011. Applications for this program will continue to be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until March 31, 2011, or until all funds are allocated, whichever comes first. Owners of small and medium-sized buildings in the commercial and institutional sectors often lack the financial and technical resources to make energy improvements.

 

The program is still accepting applications, projects continue to be approved, and no existing agreements will be affected.

 

Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) offers the ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Buildings, the commercial/institutional component of the ecoENERGY Retrofit financial incentives for existing homes, buildings and industrial processes. If you have not yet started a new energy efficiency project, you could receive up to $10 per gigajoule of estimated energy savings, 25 percent of eligible project costs or $50,000 per project. When applying, you will need to provide a pre-project energy audit of your buildings.

 

Important note: Please do not start the retrofit project or incur eligible costs until you receive written approval from Natural Resources Canada.
