Electrical energy can account for a significant percentage of the operating costs of industrial organizations. Due to increasing energy demand in B.C., it is projected that electricity costs will continue to rise in the future. The development of a long-term plan to increase energy efficiency can address that risk and provide an effective cost reduction strategy.

How BC Hydro Can Help
The Industrial Energy Manager Consortium program will co-fund the cost of hiring an energy manager for your operation. We will work with you to determine the scope of work for the energy manager and tailor the program to your company’s unique business needs.To ensure a high level of expertise, qualified energy managers will be drawn from a pool of individuals who have appropriate industrial experience, skills and training.The Energy Manager will take responsibility for and coordinate energy management initiatives between the consortium organizations. How It Works: • BC Hydro will compensate 75 per cent of the energy manager’s fees and the remaining cost will be equally distributed among consortium members. For example, if the energy manager’s fees are $10,000 and there are four companies in the consortium, each company pays $2,500. BC Hydro reimburses 75 per cent to each company ($1,875), which is paid out in four installments over the year (after each of four reports is submitted and approved). • A scope of work and agreement for the energy manager will be developed with consensus from all parties. This scope of work will outline the time allocation, duties and potential projects to be done at each member’s site. It will also outline the program deliverables and payment schedule.
