Small Business Program

Last Updated: March 27, 2025

Program Information

The Save on Energy Small Business Program is designed to help small businesses across Ontario make equipment improvements to reduce their energy consumption, at no cost. This program is different from the Retrofit program in that it is targeted towards small businesses, as opposed to medium-large businesses.

What You Get

  • Up to $3,000 for eligible lighting upgrades, as well as up to $2,500 for eligible non-lighting upgrades (refrigeration upgrades and smart thermostats) at no cost.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Businesses with an operating capacity of 50 or fewer employees.
  • Participants in the former Save on Energy Small Business Lighting program, Refrigeration Efficiency program, Business Refrigeration Incentive program, and RTUsaver program may be eligible for certain upgrades.
  • Businesses that have previously participated and received funding may qualify to receive additional upgrades at no-cost.
  • Businesses that participated in a Save on Energy program before April 1, 2019 are to reapply.

Important Notes

Certain upgrades that exceed $3,000 for lighting measures and $2,500 for non-lighting measures may qualify for additional incentives (refer to the Eligible Measures List for all upgrades available)
