Resources for Business:

Power Savings Blitz is an energy conservation program offered by PowerStream, in partnership with the Ontario Power Authority. This program provides small businesses with up to $1,000 in free* energy-efficient lighting and equipment upgrades – all with the aim of helping businesses like yours save money on your utility bill.

When you conserve energy you’re doing more than just helping your business’ bottom line - you are also contributing to a cleaner environment for your customers and the community.

The program is being offered to small businesses that have an annual electricity demand of approximately 50kW or less, in the non-food and office sub-sectors.
