A big thank you to all the businesses that took advantage of our offers and programs this year!
Congratulations go out to all the businesses that helped optimize the electricity consumption of many buildings this year by using less electricity thanks to more efficient equipment and by shifting energy use to the right time, especially during winter peaks.
More efficient equipment
Property owners and building managers who installed efficient equipment in their buildings were able to receive financial assistance to cover up to 90% of eligible costs under the Efficient Solutions Program. In the real estate sector, heat recovery, lighting systems and heat pumps are all interesting energy-saving solutions.
Beneva is a good example. The company received financial assistance in the amount of $50,000 to install an aerothermal heat pump and an ETS heating system.
Power demand reduction
Other property owners and building managers signed up their buildings for the Demand Response (DR) Option and managed to reduce or shift part of their electricity use outside of winter peak periods.
For instance, IGA Convivio received a credit of nearly $70,000 on its electricity bill thanks to the DR Option and curtailed close to 1,100 kWh during the 2021 winter period.
