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.
The provider confirms eligibility.
Program status
Verified open 2026-08-25; no intake window or end date published. Eligibility: 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. The persistence phase funds a year of monitoring to confirm that savings continue.
