About the Program
Hydro One’s PowerSaver Business 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 PowerSaver Business Incentive Program is to initiate energy conservation and load management projects within the Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural and Institutional sectors by offering financial incentives.

Maintaining a reliable supply of electricity is a priority. By reducing peak demand participating businesses will contribute to the increased security of the overall supply.

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
This is a limited time offer and 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).

  • Applications submitted for pre-approval must be received by Hydro One Networks no later than July 3, 2007.
  • Applications submitted for Prescriptive incentives after project installation must be received by Hydro One Networks no later than August 31, 2007.
