ERA Energy Savings for Business
UP TO $55 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR ALBERTA BUSINESSES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE EMISSIONS
ERA’s Energy Savings for Business Program—a funding opportunity to support small- and medium-scale industrial and commercial businesses—is awarding up to $55 million for cost-saving and emissions reducing projects. The program will help Alberta businesses reduce emissions, decrease operating costs, grow their operations and become more competitive, while creating skilled jobs and boosting economic recovery.
The projects are anticipated to account for lifetime greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions of 1.1 million tonnes of CO₂, create about 1,400 (direct and indirect) jobs and drive $300 million in economic activity—providing a positive five times benefit to Alberta’s GDP.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The focus of the Energy Savings for Business Program is to increase the adoption of targeted commercially available energy-efficient technologies for small- and medium-scale businesses. The program is open to all industries and business types across Alberta except for Large Emitters as defined under the TIER Regulation, new construction, federal and provincially-owned buildings, and the institutional sector (municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals).
