Industrial Distribution
The Power Smart Partner Program provides opportunities for eligible organizations, to partner with BC Hydro and gain access to a variety of tools and resources to develop a sustainable energy management plan that's focused on continuous improvement.
Project Incentive Funds
Project Incentive Funds are available to reduce the capital cost of implementing energy efficiency projects. This compelling offer is designed to buy down long payback projects that previously did not meet your internal investment hurdles. Now, when you optimize your facility with an energy efficiency project, your project may be eligible to receive up to 75% co-funding for the project cost.

Customer Site Investigation
Due to the overwhelming response to the Customer Site Investigation, BC Hydro has made this a permanent free offer. An Energy Specialist will walkthrough your facility and provide you with an analysis of your energy use and identify opportunities to be more energy efficient. Sign up now for a free Customer Site Investigation [PDF, 241 Kb] at your facility.
Energy Studies and Audits
An energy study or audit will uncover opportunities, analyze potential solutions, and propose recommendations that will reduce your energy costs. An energy audit provides an ideal starting point to prioritize which systems offer the greatest opportunity for further study. An energy study provides you with the data required to build a business case to implement energy efficiency projects.

Employee Energy Awareness
There is an enormous opportunity to save energy through employee awareness and education. In fact, engaging your employees is probably one of the most important steps you can take to identify and sustain energy savings. This program provides industrial customers with resources and tools to develop and implement an effective employee energy awareness campaign.

Compressed Air Initiative
The Compressed Air Initiative focuses on optimizing large compressed air systems. A high-performing system can provide more available air at consistent air pressure, better air quality, lower maintenance costs and considerable energy savings.
Refrigeration Initiative
For companies with large ammonia systems, refrigeration is the most important system in your plant. The Refrigeration Initiative focuses on optimizing your refrigeration system, a high-performing system can provide improved temperature control, better performance and reliability, and reduced energy and maintenance costs.
Pump Systems Initiative
Pump system changes can save 30 to 50 per cent of the energy used by a pump. And inefficient pump systems don't just waste your energy budget; they drain your maintenance budget too. The energy they waste doesn't vanish – it goes directly to degrade plant equipment. But eliminating these inefficiencies in large plants is a complex task requiring a system-wide assessment.
The Pump Systems Initiative helps facilities assess their plant pump systems. Our contracted assessment specialists visit a plant site, conduct a detailed assessment together with plant staff, and identify the priority pumps systems for further study through our Energy Studies initiative.
To find out more about the program, download the Pump Systems Initiative Overview [PDF, 270 Kb], contact us or call 1 866 453-6400. For a detailed description of the plant assessment process, download the Pump Systems Assessment Guide [PDF, 689 Kb].
