What this program funds and who can apply
Program Description
A natural gas efficiency incentive from Enbridge Gas for commercial, institutional and multi-unit residential buildings in its Ontario service area, including areas previously served by Union Gas. Custom projects are paid on verified natural gas savings at up to $0.40 per cubic metre saved, covering up to 75% of eligible upgrade costs to a maximum of $100,000 per project, or $500,000 per project for institutional customers such as universities, colleges, hospitals, military bases and district energy providers. An Enbridge Gas Energy Solutions Advisor confirms eligibility, does the savings engineering and calculates the incentive, and every project must be pre-approved before equipment is purchased.
Eligibility Requirements
