Energy efficiency: Financial support to put your ideas into action

Published on 9 February 2024 Hydro-Québec Article

Leading a company involves balancing several priorities at the same time. Energy efficiency? It’s an important issue—one of many! What if we gave you what you need to make energy efficiency a driving force behind your company’s performance and profitability? The good news is, Hydro-Québec offers financial assistance and guidance to help you balance performance and energy efficiency.

An energy analysis: The starting point

An accurate diagnosis is the key to success for any project. It’s the starting point for obtaining a clear picture of the situation, setting realistic objectives and establishing a roadmap to reach them. This is precisely how an energy analysis can help you discover the full energy efficiency potential of your facilities.

You lack the expertise you need within your company to carry out an energy analysis? Why not hire a specialized firm? Or help to train the next generation in the field by offering an internship? With the Energy Analysis component of the Efficient Solutions Program, you can:

  • Receive up to $50,000 to cover the costs related to determining a diagnosis.
  • Target measures that will help you reduce your costs and your electricity use.
  • Receive support from Hydro-Québec experts throughout the entire process.

Hydro-Québec provides you with the help you need to take this important step.

OSE calculation tool 

With the OSE calculation tool, you can quickly calculate how much financial assistance you could receive to carry out your energy efficiency project. Choose from more than 200 predetermined measures related to, for instance, electromechanical systems, heat recovery, insulation or cooling. 

The tool helps you:

  • Check whether the equipment and/or the work included in your project is eligible for financial assistance.
  • Assess the amount of financial assistance you could receive.
  • Submit your request for financial assistance, once the measures have been implemented.

Do you have a special project?

Would you like to carry out a more complex project with measures that are not included in the OSE tool? Propose your project under the Customized Option of the Efficient Solutions Program. You could benefit from the following advantages:

  • Financial assistance covering up to 75% of eligible costs.
  • Personalized technical support from Hydro-Québec experts.

Everyone wins when we use electricity wisely!

The Efficient Solutions Program supports your business strategies by helping increase long-term competitiveness by means of:

  • Recurring savings on your electricity bill.
  • Financial assistance for the adoption of measures designed to reduce electricity use.
  • A tangible contribution to the collective effort to decarbonize Québec.
