On October 23, the Ministry of Energy released Helping Small Businesses Save Energy, a guide on new Ontario programs and services to help reduce electricity costs for businesses. The guide is part of a broader government plan to help small businesses reduce energy use, manage costs and save money.
The plan focuses on promoting the use of local energy managers; improving the marketing of business conservation programs; enhancing existing conservation programs; making on-bill financing widely available so businesses can finance upfront costs for conservation projects; and providing an additional six years of stable funding for conservation programs.
