Frequently Asked Questions
Our energy efficiency programs are designed for businesses and organizations in the commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural sectors.
A request can be submitted by:
- A business or organization located in Québec, and accompanied or not by its partner (e.g., a supplier),
- A partner, i.e., a company that submits a project on behalf of a customer who has mandated it for this purpose,
- An aggregator, i.e., a company that submits a project on behalf of a customer.
Partners who accompany their customers under the Efficient Solutions Program generally receive incentive compensation.* Their customer receives the financial support.
Aggregators submit the projects on their customers’ behalf and receive both the financial support and the incentive compensation.*
*Certain conditions apply. Please refer to the Participant’s Guides.
This compensation is paid to industry partners and aggregators for accompanying their customers in their energy efficiency projects. Any business or organization located in Québec is eligible, for instance, specialized companies, equipment distribution companies, engineering consulting firms, energy efficiency services companies, customer associations, and members of these groups.
If the measures you would like to implement are not covered under the OSE tool, you can submit your project proposals under the Customized Option.
Only completed projects can be submitted. A project is considered completed when the equipment has been installed and is in working order.
