This program provides funding to BC Hydro industrial clients to identify energy optimization opportunities in their facilities. The program extension includes two level of studies:
1) Plant Wide Audit (PWA)
The PWA provides a high-level assessment of the systems and equipment to identify areas that are the largest energy consumers, recognize energy-saving opportunities, and recommend any changes that would provide quick returns. The PWA is available to BC Hydro customers that use more than 2 gigawatt-hours per year.
2) Energy Efficiency Feasibility Study (EEFS)
The EEFS studies a system in more depth and provides a detailed report that will identify energy savings opportunities, estimate the energy savings, and provide a construction capital cost estimate.
BC Hydro is currently funding all studies up to the following budgets:
PWA: $50,000
EEFS: $50,000
The original deadline for applications to be submitted and approved was by November 2, 2020. This deadline has been extended to March 31, 2021.
