ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive For Industry
- Description & Objectives
Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) ecoENERGY Retrofit program provides financial support to homeowners, small and medium-sized businesses, public institutions and industrial facilities to help them implement energy saving projects that reduce energy-related greenhouse gases and air pollution, thereby contributing to a cleaner environment for all Canadians. To be eligible for an incentive, companies must apply to NRCan for funding before incurring any costs related to the project. To be eligible for funding, a retrofit project must:
- involve capital expenditures that modifies or upgrades an existing building, equipment/systems or process.
- result in a measurable and verifiable reduction of energy use
- have a net simple payback period of more than one year
All energy figures must be provided in gigajoules. To convert various sources of energy, such as kilowatt hours of electricity or cubic meters of natural gas, you can use NRCan’s Gigajoule and Energy Conversion Calculator. Facilities that are eligible for retrofit assistance must demonstrate the technical and financial feasibility of their projects in their application. To help companies determine the eligibility of their project(s), NRCan provides a sample list of eligible and ineligible projects.
ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Industry has ended as of March 31, 2011.
