Energy Studies and Audits
An energy study or audit will uncover opportunities, analyze potential solutions, and propose recommendations that will reduce your energy costs. An energy audit provides an ideal starting point to prioritize which systems offer the greatest opportunity for further study. An energy study provides you with the data required to build a business case to implement energy efficiency projects.

Transmission Service Rate (TSR) Incentives
TSR Incentives provide transmission customers with capital incentives to implement energy efficiency projects. The incentives are intended for customers that have exhausted all or most of their Tier 2 energy and require a stronger price signal than Tier 1 pricing to carry out energy efficiency projects. Take advantage of TSR Incentives now and receive up to $500,000 towards your next energy efficiency project and further reduce your energy bill.

Monitoring, Targeting and Reporting
Monitoring, Targeting and Reporting (MT&R) provides a platform for continuous improvement in energy management. MT&R turns energy data into information and allows organizations to optimize their performance capabilities.

Motor Management Planning
Motor management is the set of processes that facilities use when managing their motor populations. These processes govern the way organizations manage motor failures, motor purchases and motor reliability.
Motor management planning will reduce the cost of motor ownership by reviewing your facilities current motor management practices, analyze areas of opportunity, and then create a plant specific motor management plan that integrates best practices in motor management.

Employee Energy Awareness
There is an enormous opportunity to save energy through employee awareness and education. In fact, engaging your employees is probably one of the most important steps you can take to identify and sustain energy savings. This program provides industrial customers with resources and tools to develop and implement an effective employee energy awareness campaign.

Pump Systems Initiative
Pump system changes can save 30 to 50 per cent of the energy used by a pump. And inefficient pump systems don't just waste your energy budget; they drain your maintenance budget too. The energy they waste doesn't vanish – it goes directly to degrade plant equipment. But eliminating these inefficiencies in large plants is a complex task requiring a system-wide assessment.
The Pump Systems Initiative helps facilities assess their plant pump systems. Our contracted assessment specialists visit a plant site, conduct a detailed assessment together with plant staff, and identify the priority pumps systems for further study through our Energy Studies initiative.
To find out more about the program, download the Pump Systems Initiative Overview [PDF, 71 Kb], contact us or call 1 866 453-6400. For a detailed description of the plant assessment process, download the Pump Systems Assessment Guide [PDF, 689 Kb].
Process Control Initiative
Process systems are among the largest energy users in industrial operations. The process control initiative provides funding to help you improve the efficiency of your process systems and achieve cost savings.
