BC Hydro’s Energy Study program helps Power Smart Partners conduct studies within their commercial organizations. The program can investigate any energy-using system, such as lighting, mechanical or information technology, within a facility.
This program provides three important services:
- Co-funding with the potential for 100% funding of the energy study.
- A list of pre-qualified consultants capable of performing detailed commercial energy studies. (Note: To qualify for funding, the consultant must be a registered member of the Power Smart Alliance.)
- Access to Power Smart’s technical and energy management resources throughout the energy study process.
Program offerings
The typical process follows six easy steps:
- Contact your BC Hydro Key Account Manager to discuss the opportunity for an energy study at your facility.
- If required, select a consultant from BC Hydro’s list of pre-qualified consultants.
- Meet with BC Hydro and the consultant to discuss the scope of the study.
- The consultant prepares a proposal for BC Hydro as part of an Energy Study Application.
- The consultant performs the energy study and prepares a report.
- BC Hydro reviews the energy study report and then issues co-funding payment directly back to you, the customer.
