How it Works

To be eligible for the Product Incentive Program, you must be:

• a BC Hydro business customer (on commercial tariff) or
• a BC Hydro residential strata (for common areas only*)

Private homes, home-based businesses and other Rate 1101 accounts are not eligible. If you are unsure of your eligibility, call the Power Smart Helpdesk at 1 866 522 4713 to confirm before purchasing product.

Your project must:

• meet the minimum criteria of $50 total financial incentives per application
• only use approved products identified in BC Hydro’s e.Catalog
• be installed by qualified installers

Installations in new construction projects are not eligible for incentives under this program.
