Ottawa businesses have a fresh opportunity to cut down on energy costs with the new Save On Energy Retrofit program. Designed to boost the adoption of large distributed energy resource (DER) solar systems, this incentive specifically targets areas facing electricity constraints. Eligible businesses can receive $860 per kW (AC) for installations up to 1000 kW, which translates to a potential saving of up to $860,000.
Program Requirements
To qualify for this generous incentive, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum System Size: The solar installation must be at least 50 kW.
- Mounting: The system needs to be either roof or wall-mounted.
- Operational Setup: It must be a “behind-the-meter” system, meaning it cannot be part of a net metering agreement.
- System Capacity: The installation size must not exceed the facility’s maximum load capacity.
Benefits of Going Solar
Implementing a solar system offers more than just financial savings. It can significantly enhance energy independence for your business. The program is designed to encourage businesses to generate and utilize their own clean energy, reducing reliance on the grid. By operating behind the meter, your business can directly use the power generated by your solar PV system, ensuring energy needs are met even during grid outages.
This setup not only helps in displacing loads and mitigating the impact of rising electricity rates but also provides the peace of mind that your business can continue running smoothly even during power outages.
