ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Industry

Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan's) ecoENERGY Retrofit program is designed to help industrial facilities overcome financial barriers to improving the energy efficiency of their operations.

NRCan will provide a financial incentive of up to 25 percent of project costs to a maximum of $50,000 per application and $250,000 per corporate entity to help small- and medium-sized industrial facilities implement energy-saving projects.

Benefits of a Retrofit Project

Using energy more efficiently helps industry to become more competitive and reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollution, thereby contributing to a cleaner environment for all Canadians.

This program will help companies:

• implement retrofit projects that generate annual energy savings and pay for themselves through reduced expenditures on utilities, such as energy, water and waste
• establish a baseline against which to compare future improvements
• help kick-start their energy management strategy

In conjunction with a facility's retrofit improvements, NRCan' s energy management workshops and other tools can help companies to identify low- or no-cost energy-saving opportunities, such as improving a facility' s operating procedures and educating building users.
