The Government of Ontario has made changes to the conservation programs in Ontario and directed the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to centrally deliver energy-efficiency programs until December 31, 2020. Ontario businesses will continue to have access to incentives for retrofits and other energy-efficiency projects to help lower their energy costs.
Have a project underway?
If you already have pre-approval for Save on Energy applications, you still have until December 31, 2020 to complete your project through Toronto Hydro*.
*Please note: If you have pre-approval for Audit Funding, you will have until December 31, 2019 to complete your project.
Planning on submitting an application for a new Retrofit project?
Any Retrofit applications submitted to Toronto Hydro before April 1, 2019 and pre-approved by May 1, 2019 will continue to be managed by Toronto Hydro. Any applications that do not receive pre-approval by May 1, 2019 will be reassigned to the IESO. The IESO will manage any new Retrofit applications starting April 1, 2019.

- Audit Funding Program

- High Performance New Construction
- Existing Building Commissioning
