About the Program
Hydro One’s Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program provides business,
farm and institutional customers of Hydro One Networks Inc. with an opportunity
to realize their energy efficiency potential, and to receive attractive
incentives to reduce the capital cost of energy efficient technologies.
The objective of the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program is to initiate
energy conservation and load management projects within the Commercial,
Industrial, Agricultural and Institutional sectors by offering financial
incentives.
For the business customers of Hydro One Networks, incentives are now
available to assist in the implementation of conservation and demand management
projects that will improve their bottom lines.
Timelines
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers
applying for Custom Project Incentives must seek pre-approval. Customers
applying for Prescriptive Incentives have an option of seeking funding
approval prior to installation or post installation of the energy efficiency
measure(s).
Although the OPA Guidelines
state that ERIP deadlines are based on a three-year commitment, the contract
between Hydro One Networks and the OPA for the delivery of the program
is reviewed on a yearly basis. Hydro One Networks, therefore, recommends
that customers apply for incentives based on the following deadlines,
as funding is limited and the program may not be offered beyond 2008:
- Applications submitted for pre-approval must be received by Hydro
One Networks no later than December 31, 2008.
- Applications submitted for Prescriptive incentives after project installation
must be received by Hydro One Networks no later than December 31,
2008.
- Projects must be completed and all supporting documentation received
by Hydro One within 12 months of pre-approval.
Funding is limited and Hydro One Networks reserves the right to cancel
the program at any time.
Who Qualifies?
- All non-residential Hydro One Networks customers qualify. However,
projects must have a minimum size to be eligible. Projects, motors excepted,
must achieve a minimum incentive of $150 to qualify.
- Applicants must be owners or tenants of business premises served by
Hydro One Networks.
- Please note that if you are a tenant, you must obtain permission from
the property owner for installation of the measures for which an incentive
is claimed.
Qualifying Projects
Incentives will be available for pre-approved projects that result in
measurable reductions in electrical peak demand. These projects may be
completed using energy-efficient, leading-edge technologies prescribed
by Hydro One Networks or may be based on innovative, custom solutions.
Prescriptive Projects
Rebates are offered for pre-approved technologies on a per-unit or performance
basis. Read additional information about qualifying Prescriptive
Technologies.
An incentive is available for prescriptive projects (pre-approved technologies):
- Energy-efficient lighting products
- Unitary A/C units (up to 5 tons) that are ENERGY STAR® qualified/CEE
compliant
- Three-phase premium efficiency motors
- Three-phase ENERGY STAR® Power Transformers
Custom Projects
All technology, equipment and systems are evaluated on the
basis of their energy performance improvement. The incentive offered
of $150/kW is based specifically on the level of improvement. Read additional
information about qualifying Custom
Projects.
