Premiers Innovation and Excellence Award for the Energy Savings Plan (ESP)

As the lead in this Energy Savings Plan, City Green helped to create a one stop shop website where people can search for energy efficiency related grants available throughout B.C. People can search based on their location, building type or type of renovation.

The ESP website is a legacy of the ESP pilot project that ran from March 2006 to 2007. As lead in this project, City Green partnered with municipalities and community energy planners to link owners of low-income housing projects, multi-unit residential buildings, property owners, and homeowners, to provincial grants for energy efficiency building upgrades.

City Green - and all our partners in this innovative partnership among industry, governments, utilities, First Nations and others - became a finalist in the Premiers Innovation and Excellence Award. The ESP program promoted energy efficiency as a way to reduce consumer energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector.
