The Retrofit program will release semi-annual updates each spring and fall in the 2021-2024 period. As part of these updates, new measures and incentives are being added to the Retrofit program to enable businesses to continue to save on energy costs and to take advantage of a variety of technologies and products to help improve the overall operations of buildings and facilities.
Below is the list of measures and incentives currently available under the Retrofit program.
The incentives listed below are the maximum amounts offered. The actual amounts paid will depend on specific program requirements, including equipment size and eligible cost caps.
