SMALL COMMUNITY, BIG SAVINGS, BIG IMPACT

When we work together, our energy and bill savings are anything but small.

We offer communities the opportunity and support to have an energy efficiency advocate help communities be more energy efficient and work towards their sustainability goals. Through program participation and guidance from our energy experts, these initiatives will help communities lower their energy consumption and empower its citizens to work towards a more sustainable Manitoba.

Your organization knows there are opportunities to save energy, but other priorities prevent it from happening. Hire an energy manager to develop a plan, keep it on track, and meet your sustainability goals.

Our Strategic Energy Manager Initiative supports the hiring of an on-site energy manager to provide focus and expertise, and to take a strategic approach to energy reduction within your organization. The program provides financial incentives to offset the salary of a full-time energy manager as well as a variety of other supports to help build a system of continuous improvement helping your organization foster a culture of conservation, continuous improvement, and long-term energy savings.

We provide ongoing coaching for your in-house energy management team, provide funding for Certified Energy Manager Training, support the development of a Strategic Energy Management Plan, and facilitate the tracking and reporting of energy savings. Your organization will benefit from addressing your corporate sustainability goals and allow you to collaborate with a growing network of energy managers.

PROGRAM OFFERS

STRATEGIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

We cover the cost of a professionally led Strategic Energy Management Workshop. This workshop is designed to bring your organization together as a team, allowing you to collaborate and work towards identifying and implementing energy-saving opportunities. It also helps your organization track progress and recognize achievements in saving energy. Success requires buy-in from the entire organization, and the workshop is an important first step to begin this process.

STRATEGIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT & COACHING

We support the on-site energy manager with coaching to develop your organization’s Strategic Energy Management Plan. This is a formal energy reduction plan that outlines annual savings targets, potential energy-saving projects, activities in progress, and completed measures. Additional coaching throughout the program will continue to build your energy manager’s expertise.

ENHANCED INCENTIVE STRUCTURE

We provide an enhanced incentive structure to support your energy reduction efforts. You receive bonus incentives on top of our standard program incentives as well as incentives for low-cost and no-cost maintenance projects that aren’t eligible through our other offers. This ensures you’re rewarded for taking additional steps to plan, implement, and optimize your energy use. These extra incentives are designed to offset the hiring of a dedicated energy manager.

TRAINING

We provide funding towards pre-approved training courses that will build your energy manager’s knowledge and expertise. This includes the Certified Energy Manager training course along with other opportunities identified throughout the program.

Do you have a project or system upgrade in mind for your facility that you think will save energy, and need a better understanding of your options and potential costs? A Feasibility Study can quantify the technical viability, potential energy savings, and overall project economics.

This program is ideal for industrial, commercial, or agricultural facilities that rely on technologies such as the following: 

Compressed air systems often consume significant amounts of energy. Improving your compressed air system can lower your energy costs. It can also help correct low air pressure, moisture in the air lines, poor reliability, and production outages.

As a free service, we’ll perform a benchmark study of your compressed air system to identify energy-saving opportunities. We work with pre-qualified compressed air specialists who will visit your facility and perform a baseline logging of your system. Our technical experts will analyze the data and provide you with a report that has valuable information about your system, helping you identify the appropriate size for replacement units and other areas for improvement. We’ll work with you to identify energy efficiency upgrades that qualify for incentives through our Custom Energy Solutions Program.
