The goal of the program is to reduce GHG emissions in Alberta.

Energy Efficiency Alberta – Custom Energy Solutions program offers opportunities for the Alberta Food Processors facilities to follow a tailored pathway to reduced emissions and energy efficiency.
Measures that can be funded via the custom program include:
VFDs
Building controls – highly applicable to multiple sites
Heat recovery solutions
Boiler system related items
Compress Air Systems
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Lighting is out, but most everything else we will consider if it brings GHG tonne and has line of sight to a scheduled completion date.
The process would be:
Application the Energy Efficiency Alberta – Custom Energy Solutions.
Scoping audits completed. (Funding available – up to 100% of costs). Note that party doing the audits would need to be approved as a program ally.
Engineering studies funding available for larger projects (up to 100%, completed by program allies)
Required for baseline on all projects. incentive differs >10,000 and <10,000 tonnes GHG Energy improvement plans. Results of plan evaluated for incentives; calculated on a fee per ton of GHG reduction basis. Application for incentive is done by program allies. Food Processors can elect to proceed or not based on final business case of measure after incentive calculations Measurement & Verification of measures is required prior to incentive payment The aggregate of the facilities (approx. 30-35,000 tCO2e) is not eligible a dedicated energy manager. >25,000 tonnes GHG footprint would be eligible for an energy manager. 5-25,000 eligible for SEM program.
