ÉcoPerformance - Commercial Institutional Bienergy Stream (Simplified Route)

Overview of the ÉcoPerformance - Commercial Institutional Bienergy Stream (Simplified Route) program:

The ÉcoPerformance program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption of businesses in Quebec by providing them with financial assistance to carry out energy analyses and energy efficiency and conversion projects in the business sector. This component aims at the partial conversion of buildings in the commercial and institutional sectors using natural gas for space heating to electricity, through an approach based on optimal complementarity of electricity and gas networks. Dual energy therefore aims to convert a significant portion of natural gas consumption to electricity while respecting the real constraint of Hydro-Québec's winter electricity peak. The simplified pathway allows you to receive pre-established financial assistance based on the equipment belonging to the pre-selected categories. The financial assistance is capped according to the characteristics of the equipment on the list or according to a maximum amount linked to the pathway.
