FortisBC Commercial Custom Design Program: Retrofit Projects

Program for buildings designed with energy conservation in mind.

Energy Study Funding: 50% of the cost to a maximum of $25,000.
Capital Incentive Funding: The additional cost of implementing the approved energy conservation measure over and above the cost of an otherwise equivalent yet less efficient alternative, less the value of one year’s worth of natural gas savings.
Implementation Bonus Funding: Offered to those who successfully deliver more than half of the approved energy savings, up to $25,000.

Buildings need to be heated with natural gas.

Industrial Optimization Program

FortisBC is offering its industrial customers funding towards a plant-wide, comprehensive energy audit, a feasibility study once measures are identified, and possible funding towards the energy efficiency projects. Eligibility and size of the incentive are determined by FortisBC.
