nergy efficiency isn't just about
sustainability. It also helps businesses
run more efficiently and lower operating
costs. From restaurants to auto repair shops to
laundromats, BC Hydro is helping businesses of
all sizes save through incentives for energy-
efficiency upgrades. In this past year, businesses
participating in these BC Hydro programs saved
an average of $2,300 on their annual energy bills.
And with a wide range of incentives available,
businesses can find the energy-saving
solutions that best fit their specific needs.
ENERGY ADVISORS PROVIDE EXPERT
ADVICE AND TAILORED SOLUTIONS
BC Hydro connects business owners with an
energy advisor for an energy assessment
at no cost. Advisors conduct all the
necessary research in advance to provide
a streamlined process, offering tailored
upgrade recommendations and referrals
for contractors. They identify funding
options that can reduce upgrade costs
through various BC Hydro programs and
even assist with the application process.
With an assessment from an energy advisor,
business owners can choose the upgrades
that make the most sense for their business,
putting them in the driver's seat.
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES
To support investments in energy efficiency,
BC Hydro offers incentives for equipment
upgrades in the key areas of lighting,
HVAC and refrigeration systems. Last
year, participating businesses received
an average of 30 percent funding towards
upfront costs. Not only do energy-efficient
upgrades help improve sustainability, they
strengthen your business' bottom line.
