Improving the energy performance of your buildings means investing directly in your organization’s profitability. Reducing operating costs and increasing the value of your spaces while meeting growing environmental, social and governance expectations: it’s win‑win across the board.
Hydro‑Québec’s Efficient Solutions Program supports this process through grants that can cover up to 90% of admissible costs to implement energy efficiency and demand response measures.
A program designed to make building upgrades easier
The Efficient Solutions Program helps you keep project costs down. Using the Efficient Solutions calculation tool (OSE), you can now see the energy efficiency measures for which grants are available.
Over 200 eligible grant measures available
These measures cover a wide range of building components, including:
- Thermal envelope
- Heat pumps
- Heat recovery
- Control and regulation
- Lighting
Bonus incentives for projects combining multiple measures
To encourage a more holistic approach and maximize energy savings, a bonus of up to 15% is automatically applied when multiple eligible measures in the following categories are combined for a single building: heat recovery, geothermal heat pumps, and building envelope improvements.
Every building has potential. With the right tools, solutions start to take shape.
OSE: A calculation and decision‑making tool
Whether you’re at the project or planning stage, OSE helps guide your decisions by turning information into clear, structured data that supports strategic decision‑making.
The tool lets you:
- Confirm the eligibility of energy efficiency measures for a building
- Evaluate the grant amount you might be eligible for
