How Does SMALL BUSINESS LIGHTING work?
Assess Your Business
A Business Representative from your participating local electric utility will be contacting stores and businesses in your area that have an electricity demand of less than 50 kW. They’ll be offering a free energy assessment of your lighting and water heating equipment to help identify specific opportunities for becoming more energy efficient.
Identify Your Options
The primary focus is on lighting upgrades, but other electricity savings will also be identified for your consideration. After the assessment, you can decide whether or not to move forward with a retrofit. If you decide to go ahead, a signed work order form and customer agreement will get things under way.
Install the Upgrades
Funding of up to $1,000 is provided for new energy efficient lighting and equipment otherwise known as a retrofit (including the cost of materials and labour). An appointment will be made for a licensed electrical contractor to come and complete the retrofit. There may be opportunities for further energy efficiency retrofits above the $1,000 allowance. Further incentives apply beyond the $1,000 in free upgrades. Speak to our representative for more information.
Who can participate?
A wide variety of businesses with an electricity demand of less than 50 kW such as clothing stores, independent restaurants, dry cleaners, medical offices, beauty salons, convenience stores, garages and other small retailers can participate in the SMALL BUSINESS LIGHTING Program.

IMPORTANT: Businesses that have previously participated in Power Savings BlitzOM are not eligible.
How do you know if your business has an electricity demand of 50 kW?
If your local electric utility bill shows usage only measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), then your annual electricity demand is likely 50 kW or less. If it shows kW or kVA, then your business likely uses more than 50kW a year.
