Save On Energy – Energy Performance Program

Description:

The Energy Performance Program (EPP) rewards customers who are able to make behavioural and operational changes that support capital investment projects, enabling them to grow their energy savings over a number of years. EPP provides customers with commercial & institutional facilities located the Province of Ontario with the opportunity to receive energy efficiency incentives on a pay -for-performance basis. The Program provides financial incentives through a multi-year, pay-for-performance incentive structure for lasting operational and maintenance energy efficiency measures and equipment retrofits.

Comments on Funding:

Participants receive:
– $0.04/kWh multiplied by the electricity savings realized with the annual incentive capped at 20% of the facility baseline energy use.
– $50/kW multiplied by the summer peak demand savings realized with the annual incentive capped at 20% of the facility baseline summer peak demand. This is a performance incentive based on summer peak demand savings determined by comparing metered consumption to their baseline energy model.
