Timelines
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers applying for Custom Project Incentives must seek pre-approval. Customers applying for Prescriptive Incentives have an option of seeking funding approval prior to installation or post installation of the energy efficiency measure(s).
Although the OPA Guidelines state that ERIP deadlines are based on a three-year commitment, the contract between Hydro One Networks and the OPA for the delivery of the program is reviewed on a yearly basis. Hydro One Networks, therefore, recommends that customers apply for incentives based on the following deadlines, as funding is limited and the program may not be offered beyond 2010:
- Applications submitted for pre-approval must be received by Hydro One Networks no later than December 31, 2010.
- Applications submitted for Prescriptive incentives after project installation must be received by Hydro One Networks no later than December 31, 2010.
- Projects must be completed and all supporting documentation received by Hydro One within 12 months of pre-approval.
Funding is limited and Hydro One Networks reserves the right to cancel the program at any time.
Who Qualifies?
- All non-residential Hydro One Networks customers qualify. However, projects must have a minimum size to be eligible. Projects, motors excepted, must achieve a minimum incentive of $250 to qualify or have a 5 kW demand reduction for all custom projects.
- Applicants must be owners or tenants of business premises served by Hydro One Networks.
- Please note that if you are a tenant, you must obtain permission from the property owner for installation of the measures for which an incentive is claimed.
