Energy analysis component – Financial support of up to $50,000:
Our team of qualified specialists can carry out an energy audit of your building to obtain an accurate assessment of your building’s energy consumption. This can uncover opportunities to save and use energy more efficiently. Various measures will then be proposed to reduce your building’s energy consumption, and you’ll get an overall idea of the priority and cost-effectiveness of the proposed measures.
Financial support for the energy analysis component is provided in two instalments:
- First payment of 40% of eligible costs (up to a maximum of $20,000) following receipt of the analysis report and validation of compliance.
- Second payment of 60% of eligible costs (up to a maximum of $30,000) following implementation of one or more measures included in the report.
Efficient equipment section:
This component is the logical continuation of the Energy Analysis component, but can also be used independently. Using the OSE tool provided by Hydro-Québec, various financial supports are available to facilitate the implementation of energy efficiency measures, including those recommended in the Energy Analysis component.
Overall, financial support for the efficient equipment component can be broken down as follows:
- Up to 90% of eligible costs for small businesses (companies subject to G and Flex G rates)
Up to 75% of eligible costs for medium and large companies (companies subject to other business rates, including G9, M, L and LG).
