Ontario Helping Small Businesses Save Energy

Business Save Energy

Ontario is implementing a new plan to help small businesses reduce energy use, manage costs and save money. Ontario’s almost 400,000 small and medium-sized businesses make up over 99% of businesses in the province.

According to Ontario’s Ministry of Energy, the plan will

•    promote the use of local energy managers, which help small business owners find savings and reduce paperwork
•    better market business conservation programs, which will ensure small business owners have access to information about government programs that can help them save
•    enhance business conservation programs to ensure simplicity of application, increased benefits and rebates, and increased contractor engagement and training
•    work to make on-bill financing widely available, which helps small business owners finance the upfront costs of significant energy conservation projects
•    provide an additional six years offunding for conservation programs

The plan is outlined in a new guide, Helping Small Businesses Save Energy.

Helping small and medium sized businesses succeed and thrive is part of the government’s plan to build Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history.
