BC Hydro's Power Smart Partner Express:
Streamlined process. Accurate incentives. 

At BC Hydro, we want you to save energy wherever and whenever you can, through large and complex projects that may take up to a year to complete, but also through smaller and simpler ones. And we're committed to helping you pay for them.

Previously, however, we have not had a program in place specifically to help our large commercial, government and institutional customers do those simple retrofits – like upgrading a lighting system – that can add up to just as significant energy savings as more complicated projects.

But we do now.  As of April 2010, we are offering all customers with Key Account Managers a new incentive program called Power Smart Partner Express, exclusively for smaller projects.

Power Smart Partner Express Highlights

• No waiting.
• Self-serve online application.
• Immediate online approval.
• Individually measured energy savings.
• Tiered incentives that reflect your true energy savings and your payback time.

Fast paperwork, immediate approval

Power Smart Partner Express makes quick and simple retrofits quick and simple to apply for. The application process is self-serve:

1. You go to our website and apply for Power Smart Partner Express online.
2. Ensure that the energy efficient products you are using are registered with e.Catalog.
3. We review and approve your project on the spot (you must receive our email approval first, before you start).
4. You complete the work, then return online to fill out the project completion forms.
5. You receive your BC Hydro incentive.

The greater the savings, the higher the incentive

Because we know that all businesses are different – and that large commercial, government and institutional facilities may operate unusually long hours – we will calculate your Power Smart Partner Express incentives based on your actual hours of operation, your actual energy savings per project, and your actual payback time.

The result: custom-tailored incentives that both accurately reflect the amount of energy your business will be able to save through a particular project and take into account how long it will take you to pay for it.
