A new saving opportunity has opened up for businesses in Ottawa with the announcement of Save On Energy’s Retrofit program, intended to promote large distributed energy resource (DER) solar systems in Ottawa. This incentive specifically targets areas that were deemed to have electricity constraints. Businesses in Ottawa can receive $860 per kW (AC) for a maximum of 1000 kW, totalling up to $860,000.
The main requirements to be eligible for the program are:
- The system has the be at least 50 kW in size
- The system needs to be roof or wall-mounted
- The system has to be “behind”-the-meter“ and cannot be signed onto a net metering agreement
- The system size can’t surpass the maximum load of the facility
A solar upgrade not only offers huge saving potential but can also empower energy independence.
This program was specially curated to motivate businesses to create and use their own clean energy and reduce dependency on the grid. The intention is for your business to use all power generated by your solar PV system. By being Behind The Meter, your business will use the power your solar system generates directly while a grid interface and protection panels prevent extra power from getting sent to the grid.
This way, businesses can truly take advantage of load displacement. Reduce concerns about rising electricity rates and gain the confidence of knowing your business will have the power it needs to continue running during an outage.
