What it pays

Total project incentive typically $0.15/kWh; where a feasibility study incentive is taken, the implementation incentive is the total project incentive minus the study incentive

Deadline: none stated on the source page

Engineered, custom electricity-reduction retrofits at commercial, institutional and industrial facilities, with optional feasibility-study funding folded into one project incentive. Incentives are paid after implementation and measurement and verification.

Who qualifies

Commercial, institutional and industrial retrofit projects in Nova Scotia facilities or groups of facilities, with a simple payback before incentives of between 1 and 15 years, in the planning stages with no equipment purchased.

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

Status note, as recorded

Status "unknown" because the page states no intake and no closure; participation runs through two live application routes ("Retrofit Project Application - With Feasibility Study Incentive" and "...Without Feasibility Study Incentive"). Constraints quoted verbatim: "Project simple payback before incentives must fall between 1 and 15 years"; "Projects must be in the planning stages with no prior commitments or equipment purchased. New construction projects aren't eligible"; "The CPA must be signed by the business and Efficiency Nova Scotia before equipment is purchased or installed"; "Incentives are paid at the end of the project after the project measures have been implemented and Measurement & Verification has been completed." ELECTRICITY ONLY, "This program was created to support electricity reduction projects only", so a gas-side project earns nothing here. Stackable with other funders: "Yes. We'll consider other funding or incentives in our analysis." The M&V-before-payment rule is the metering hook.

Nearly every application on this list wants a measured figure that most plants do not have yet. Metering produces it, and we can help your team put the paperwork together around it.
