Small Business Lighting Incentive Program for Ontario

Ontario Small Business Lighting Incentive Program

August 6, 2016

Businesses across Ontario can qualify for up to $1,500 in free energy-efficient lighting and equipment upgrades.

Eligible businesses will receive the following benefits: a free onsite lighting assessment of their facility, up to $2,000 in incentives towards eligible energy efficient lighting upgrades, and a turn-key lighting installation which eliminates the need to search for a qualified contractor, obtain quotes, submit incentive applications, project manage the retrofit, and clean-up.

Save on Energy programs like this one are offered through local hydro companies and powered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).

Who is eligible to participate

  • Businesses with an average annual demand of less than 100kW
  • Previous participants of the Power Saving Blitz 2008-2010 or Direct Install Lighting (also known as Small Business Lighting 2011-2015) programs

Interested businesses are invited to contact their local hydro utility. If the program is available in that area, a local hydro utility representative will help determine eligibility, provide relevant documents, and arrange an appointment to get started on a lighting upgrade.

To see of the Small Business Lighting Program is currently being offered by your local hydro company, click on My Programs and enter your postal code.
