Eligible Applicants
A BC Hydro Key Account Manager (KAM) is assigned to the account. During the pre-screening phase, the project must demonstrate that it has the potential to implement measures at a single facility that will lead to at least 1,200 tC02e of reduction in lifetime energy consumption. There must be a building in the BC Hydro service territory, which includes New Westminster, to be eligible for this program.
In order for a project to qualify as an energy measure, it must meet the following criteria:
- Assist in reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a net basis;
- As a result, measurable and verifiable energy impacts can be achieved;
- It will result in energy impacts that can be estimated using standard engineering calculations as a result of the project; and
- Include a technology that is not included in other utility DSM programs, such as FortisBC’s Commercial Performance Program, which is not covered by other DSM programs.
The proposed projects must be based on proven technologies which are commercially available and have a reasonable rate of adoption in the marketplace. It is not possible to purchase equipment before the Capital Incentive Agreement has been finalized and signed.
