Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program

In 2011, BC Housing, BC Non-Profit Association (BCNPHA) and BC Hydro formed a partnership to increase the energy efficiency of social housing developments and return some of the resulting savings to participating non-profit housing providers.

The resulting program builds on the existing BC Hydro Power Smart Partner Express (PSPX) incentive program and provides funds to enable housing providers to complete small-scale energy saving retrofits of items like light fixtures.

The Energy Efficiency Retrofit program is intended to help non-profit housing providers make a variety of energy upgrades to enhance tenant comfort and safety, realize ongoing energy savings, and take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Together, incentives are intended to encourage housing providers to undertake small scale energy retrofit projects and retain a portion of the energy savings, without additional future costs or administration for those involved.

If you are interested in applying for this program, please contact  BCNPHA  or
BC Housing.  To be eligible for the program, projects should contain a housing component and be operated under an eligible program operating agreement with BC Housing. Please refer to the Program Funding Guide for further eligibility details.
