What it pays

100% of an investigation study cost, up to $5,000

Deadline: none stated on the source page

Funds a recommissioning investigation study that finds low-cost operational fixes in existing building systems, then supports implementing them. Explicitly open to industrial facilities.

Who qualifies

Institutional, charitable, commercial or industrial facilities served directly or indirectly by Nova Scotia Power; eligibility is assessed case by case and the application is submitted by a contractor.

Summarized from the official page. This is not advice; the provider decides.

Status note, as recorded

Status "unknown", with no intake statement; the live route is "We consider eligibility on a case-by-case basis. Work with a contractor to apply for this program." The page's own claim for the approach: "Recommissioning can reduce whole-building energy usage by 5-15% on average", by "easy-to-implement, low-cost, low-risk operational changes". Electricity only, same as Custom Energy Retrofits. Same CPA-before-purchase and payment-after-M&V rules. Unlike the Ontario EBCx equivalent, industrial facilities ARE named as eligible.
