ERA (P): Energy Retrofit Assistance for Planning Activities
EnerGuide for Existing Buildings (EEB) (formerly the Energy Innovators Initiative) can help your business, institution or other eligible organization by providing Energy Retrofit Assistance, also known as ERA-P, funding for energy management plans, audits, feasibility studies and other retrofit planning activities in your existing buildings.
How the Planning Incentive Works
If considering an energy retrofit planning project, EEB members could receive up to 50 percent of eligible costs or up to $1 per gigajoule (1 GJ = 277.8 equivalent kilowatt hours) of annual energy consumption in the affected buildings – whichever amount is less – to a maximum of $25,000.
Please Note
- Funds will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
- Do not sign contracts or start work until funding is formally approved.
- Where possible, technologies and equipment that are innovative, use renewable energy and have the potential to achieve the highest energy savings should be considered.
- You can find service providers through the Energy Management Services Directory.
- In some cases, you can also apply for ERA-I for retrofit implementation projects or for related incentives.
- Keep current with recent ERA policy updates and by subscribing to the Heads Up Energy Efficiency newsletter.
