XLerate Program
Save energy at scale - up to $15 million in project funding
The Save on Energy XLerate Program is a streamlined, pay-for-performance initiative that provides organizations across Ontario in the industrial, municipal, institutional, and healthcare sectors with a simplified approach to undertaking large-scale energy-efficiency projects. This program is supported by the Ontario government.
