Power Savings Blitz

The Power Savings Blitz provides qualifying small businesses with free electricity-saving products valued up to $1000 (including installation) with the aim of helping them to become more energy efficient.

Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program

Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program

The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) in conjunction with Essex Powerlines has developed the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP) for non-residential facilities in Ontario. The objective of the program is to leverage energy conservation and load management opportunities by offering incentives for sustainable, measurable and verifiable energy retrofits that result in on-peak demand savings and annual energy savings.
