Program status

Nova Scotia's analogue to the Ontario Expanded Energy Management Program and BC Hydro's Industrial SEM, and the industrial sector is named as eligible. The program includes: "Tracking and analyzing energy use within the context of operations." Funding amounts are not published. Funding is explicitly conditional, and the page says so: "Most energy management programs are funded through federal and provincial initiatives, though this is dependent on the availability of funding and the program model that's selected", and "Timing is dependent on available funding and staffing." Three delivery models: Fractional Energy Manager ("Most organizations using this model are able to reduce annual energy costs by 10-30%"), Embedded Energy Manager ("Agreements typically span 2-3 years"), and Strategic Energy Management. "Most agreements will be at least 18 months to ensure one capital planning cycle is included." Status "unknown", with no intake statement; entry is via a contact form.
