Energy Retrofit Assistance Retrofit Planning
(ERA P)

• Organizations can receive up to 50 percent of
  eligible costs for energy retrofit planning up
  to 25,000. An organization may reapply for
  further projects, up to a maximum total of
  250,000 in incentives.

• The objective is to provide organizations with
  tools to overcome barriers associated with
  implementing an energy saving retrofit project.

Energy Retrofit Assistance Building
Implementation (ERA 3)

• The ERA (3) offers incentives to organizations
  that have buildings that they own, lease or
  manage.

• The project must be completed within 12 months.
  (This now can be extended for more complex
  projects)
• EII will contribute up to 25 of eligible costs
  to a maximum of 250,000 based on estimated
  energy savings. (currently total eligibility of
  500,000 per client)

13
Determination of NRCan contribution

• For example NRCan Incentive
• 7.5 per energy savings (GJ) of the project
• Estimated savings of the project are 10 000 GJ
• Total pilot project costs are 800,000
• Then
• Incentive 7.5/GJ x 10,000 GJ 75,000
• which is less than either 25 of project costs or
  250,000

14
Pre-Evaluation Determination of NRCan
contribution contd

• For example
• Estimated savings of the project are 40,000 GJ
• Total pilot project costs are 4,800,000
• Then
• Incentive 7.5/GJ x 33,333 GJ 250,000 (Max)
• which is less than either 25 of project costs or
  300,000 (7.5 X 40,000GJ 300,000)

15
Issuing Payments
First Payment

• NRCan issues the first payment, amounting to 50
  of the incentive, after the energy retrofit work
  has started.

Final Payment

• Final 50 will be paid to the client one year
  after completing the project when the final
  report has been received and the energy savings
  have been verified.
