ENERGY OPTIMIZATION GRANTS

Reduce your energy costs and your impact on the environment

In Québec, numerous grants are available to help you achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Our engineering expertise and use of cutting-edge technology allow us to leverage the maximum amount of financial assistance available, thereby maximizing the profitability of your buildings and their operations.

Our optimization department handles your project from A to Z, from the initial estimate, through engineering, grant applications, and project implementation, to comprehensive monitoring of your savings throughout your payback period.

List of possible energy optimization grants

At first glance, undertaking an energy efficiency project may seem costly. However, did you know that there are many subsidies available to help you reduce project costs and your energy impact on the environment? BAULNE helps its clients apply for the various energy optimization grants to obtain maximum financing to offset the costs of their efficiency measures. There may be multiple energy optimization grants available for the project being considered, thereby decreasing implementation costs without compromising energy savings.

Below are the most relevant energy optimization grants available to our clients across the commercialindustrial/manufacturinginstitutionalmulti-residential and office tower sectors.

Please note that our team is available at any time to answer your questions.

The Ecoperformance program from TEQ (Transition Énergétique Québec) aims to help businesses reduce their environmental footprint while improving their energy efficiency and profitability.

Analysis component

Financial assistance covering up to 75% of the cost of an energy analysis.

Up to a maximum of $100,000 per site for small/medium energy consumers and up to $300,000 per site for large consumers.

An energy study provides a detailed assessment of a building’s energy consumption, including the economic and energy analysis of various measures that could be implemented to improve its overall energy efficiency.

Implementation component

This component offers financial assistance aimed at reducing GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions.

The financial aid corresponds to the lowest of the following amounts:

  • $125 per tonne of GHG reduced over 10 years for small/medium consumers, or $50 per tonne for large consumers,
  • 75% of the additional costs related to the energy efficiency portion of the project,

  • The amount required to bring the project’s payback period (without aid) to the minimum eligible payback period.

Feasibility study component

Receive 50% of the cost of the feasibility study, up to a maximum of $50,000.

Implementation of Efficient Measures

Financial assistance ranging from $0.30 to $1.00 per m³ of natural gas saved during the year the measures are implemented, up to a maximum of $1,000,000.

Recommissioning

Recommissioning mechanical systems can reduce annual energy consumption by 10% to 15%.

This initiative is supported with funding covering 50% of project costs, up to a maximum of $100,000.

Efficient Equipment

Variable Airflow Hood (commercial and institutional)
$3,350 + $0.45/CFM of the exhaust system

Condensing Unit Heater
Up to $2,900 per unit*

Infrared Heating
Up to $800 per unit*

Smart Thermostat
Receive a $100 incentive for a smart thermostat*

* Depending on capacity and among certified EnergyStar units.

Your natural gas provider offers financial incentives to help you reduce your consumption and, more importantly, your carbon footprint.

Programme bâtiments
(secteurs institutionnel et commercial)

Your electricity provider encourages you to reduce your energy consumption and offers several incentive programs for the commercial and institutional sectors.

Energy Analysis

Receive up to $60,000 in financial assistance to identify electricity-saving projects for a building, equipment, or process.

Medium and Large Business Component

For entities subject to commercial electricity rates.

Financial assistance covering up to 75% of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $3 million.

Small Business Component

For buildings subject to Rate G.

Financial assistance covering up to 90% of eligible costs on more than 200 predefined, subsidized energy-saving measures.

Demand Management Offer (DMO)

A credit designed to reward customers who can reduce their power demand.

The incentive ranges from $60.87 to $81.70 per kW of reduced power during peak events, for a minimum reduction of 10 kW.
