Small Business Lighting Incentive Program for Ontario
June 28, 2016
Businesses across Ontario can qualify for up to $1,500 in free energy-efficient lighting and equipment upgrades.
Eligible businesses will receive the following benefits: a free onsite lighting assessment of their facility, up to $2,000 in incentives towards eligible energy efficient lighting upgrades, and a turn-key lighting installation which eliminates the need to search for a qualified contractor, obtain quotes, submit incentive applications, project manage the retrofit, and clean-up.
Save on Energy programs like this one are offered through local hydro companies and powered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).
Who is eligible to participate
- Businesses with an average annual demand of less than 100kW
- Previous participants of the Power Saving Blitz 2008-2010 or Direct Install Lighting (also known as Small Business Lighting 2011-2015) programs
Interested businesses are invited to contact their local hydro utility. If the program is available in that area, a local hydro utility representative will help determine eligibility, provide relevant documents, and arrange an appointment to get started on a lighting upgrade.
