Provincial program
Save on Energy: Existing Building Commissioning Program (EBCx)
IESO (Independent Electricity System Operator), Ontario · Save on Energy
What it pays
Investigation phase: up to $0.06 per square foot of building area, to a maximum of $50,000 per application or 75% of the costs paid. Implementation and persistence phases: $0.03 per kWh of confirmed (then persisting) savings, each capped at 30% of the facility's annual electricity consumption or $50,000, whichever is lower.
Deadline: none stated on the source page
Funds a three-phase recommissioning of an existing building: investigation, implementation of the identified measures, then a year of monitoring to prove the savings persist. Baseline models and measurement and verification documentation are required throughout.
Who qualifies
Commercial and institutional buildings on the IESO-controlled grid or a distribution system, using a minimum of 750,000 kWh per annum NOT including energy consumed by industrial and manufacturing processes, with 12 months of consecutive energy data and no commissioning in the previous two years.
Summarized from the official page. This is not advice; the provider decides.
Status note, as recorded
Verified open 2026-08-25; no intake window or end date published. Read this one together with the eligibility line above: the 750,000 kWh threshold explicitly EXCLUDES energy consumed by industrial and manufacturing processes, so a factory qualifies on its building loads alone or not at all. It earns its place because the persistence phase is a funded year of monitoring; the rare program that pays for proving a saving stuck.
Program details change. Always confirm with the provider before budgeting. If this page and the official page disagree, the official page is right, and we would like to know, at info@quantifyenv.com.

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.
