takeCHARGE Commercial Lighting Rebate Program
Program helps commercial businesses province-wide make smarter lighting choices by offering rebates on high performance.
Funding Available – T8 lighting and LED Exit signs at participating lighting retailers ($4 per qualifying ballast, $1 per qualifying lamp and $20 per LED exit sign full fixture or retrofit kit).
takeCHARGE Commercial Product Rebates
Program provides financial incentives to commercial businesses towards the cost of an energy audit, feasibility study and the implementation of energy saving upgrades in heating and cooling, refrigeration, lighting and controls, and more.
Funding Available – takeCHARGE may fund 50% of the cost of the audit, to a maximum of $3,000. A funding application must be pre-approved by takeCHARGE to get funding support.
With complex or large scale projects, a feasibility study may be required. A funding application must be pre-approved by takeCHARGE to get funding support. The feasibility study application must include a general description of the project, including estimated implementation costs and potential energy and demand savings, an estimate of the feasibility study costs, the qualifications of the selected consultant and other information as requested by takeCHARGE to evaluate the application.
Approved applications may receive 75% of the eligible costs of the feasibility study up to a maximum of $5,000. Customers are encouraged to seek other sources of funding.
However, they must maintain a minimum 25% stake in the study. When the feasibility study is complete, the final report would be issued to both the customer and takeCHARGE.
If a study has been completed prior to applying to the Business Efficiency Program, it will be at the discretion of takeCHARGE whether it is sufficient to enable the customer to avail of the custom program. While existing studies may be deemed acceptable, there will be no reimbursement to the customer for costs incurred for earlier work.
These totals are subject to change based on size of customer and potential savings.
