Energy Performance Program
Increase your energy savings over time, reduce your operating costs and improve your productivity.
The Energy Performance Program (EPP) rewards customers who are able to make behavioural and operational changes that support capital investment projects, enabling them to grow their energy savings year over year.
Find out how EPP can benefit your business and help you take a more holistic approach to energy savings.
Three years of annual pay-for-performance incentives are available for applications approved by December 31, 2027.
It’s easier to participate now more than ever!

How does it work?
- The program is based on a pay-for-performance model that encourages whole building energy performance improvements.
- Participants have choice and flexibility in implementing capital and non-capital energy-efficiency measures and are rewarded at the same incentive rate regardless of the types of projects/activities that have been implemented.
- Participants receive a performance incentive calculated as incentive rate multiplied by electricity savings. The electricity savings are determined by comparing metered consumption to their baseline energy model.
The incentive rates are defined as:- $0.15/kWh for energy consumed on weekdays between June 1 and September 30 (inclusive), during the hours of 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. (EDT).
- $0.04/kWh for savings during non-summer peak hours.
How to apply
- Create an account and register your team.
- Upload a signed Energy Performance Program Participant Agreement.
- Provide facility details.
- Upload 12 months of the most recent hourly interval meter data.

It's that easy! You will soon receive the baseline energy model generated by the EPP Portal for your review and approval.
