NRCan Launches $$ Incentive Program

Body

In April 1998, Natural Resources Canada launched a program with cash incentives for energy retrofit projects in existing buildings.

The Innovators Plus Program is aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, Canada made an international commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels by the year 2012.

Money is available to companies that sign up as "Energy Innovators". The Innovators Plus Program includes financial incentives for companies implementing comprehensive energy efficiency pilot retrofits. Contributions of up to 25% of a pilot project cost are available, to a maximum of $350,000.

To qualify your company need to sign up as an Energy Innovator, submit an energy management plan, and put together a pilot project proposal. NRCan has a limited budget and will allocate funds on a first come, first served basis.
