Roving Energy Manager (REM) program | Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC)

December 31, 2023

Value

Receive up to $10,000 in funding for specific energy management opportunities.

Description

The Roving Energy Manager (REM) program helps municipalities navigate the ever-changing energy efficiency landscape by providing a free, fractional energy manager service.

This service will help municipalities identify, report and implement energy-saving opportunities. The program provides the in-house capacity of an energy manager without the added cost of hiring one.

This service provides solutions to communities with limited energy management experience and those that have not previously engaged in the Action Centre’s energy management initiatives (Municipal Energy Manager Program, Municipal Energy Champions Program or the Recreation Energy Conservation program).

Eligible Applicants

The following municipalities are eligible to participate:

  • Municipalities1 that have not previously participated in the Municipal Energy Manager Program, Municipal Energy Champions Program or the Recreation Energy Conservation program.

The REM program will be delivered over three years, with one cohort of municipalities participating in each year. Each cohort will accept a maximum of 5 municipalities. A partnership of neighbouring municipalities may be considered.

The following individuals and organizations are ineligible:

  • Individual residents;
  • Electricity or gas utilities;
  • Non-profit organizations;
  • Co-operative organizations;
  • For-profit businesses;
  • Indigenous communities;
  • Institutions such as schools, hospitals, universities, or colleges;
  • Provincial or federal governments including any crown corporations or agencies; and
  • Other organizations deemed ineligible by the Action Centre.

Eligible Expenses

Funding for energy efficiency projects is available for up to a maximum of $10,000 subject to the following provisions. This funding is only provided to those participants that complete all program steps and are in “good standing” with the Action Centre. Funding must be used for simplified measures (low hanging fruit) that increase the efficiency of energy systems while reducing energy costs and GHG emissions. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Lighting and lighting control retrofits
  • Pump replacements (below 20 horsepower);
  • Pump variable frequency drives (below 50 horsepower);
  • Space heating boilers, furnaces, and unit heaters (below 2.5 million BTUH);
  • Domestic hot water tank and tankless water heaters;
  • Pipe insulation and weatherstripping; and
  • Smart thermostats.

No more than one project grant will be provided to a municipality under this program.

Deadline Date

The REM program is closed for the 2024 cohort. There may be opportunities for future cohorts.
