Alberta: Find even more energy savings with new eligible technologies

The Extended Technologies Pilot

Albertans are innovative. While the ESB Program offers over 60 technologies, the efficiency world is always evolving and driving new ideas and products. ETP offers a new pathway for Alberta businesses to propose effective, commercially available technologies not currently supported through ESB, that could offer a high return on investment. Successful proposals will receive funding to support project implementation and will help expand ERA’s understanding of the technology’s performance, market potential, and how it could be best supported in future initiatives.

Updates to the measures list

To demonstrate the innovative nature of Albertans, ESB often receives requests for additional measures or sizes of existing technologies. To reflect demand for these technologies, the ESB program has released new updates to the Measures List. These updates will give businesses more opportunities to take advantage of the program, install more efficient equipment, and ultimately save money and reduce emissions.

As of Monday, December 20, 2021, ESB has included:

  • New size categories for LED agricultural top lighting
  • New direct contact water heater measures
  • Expanded CHP eligibility for smaller projects
  • Updated requirements for RTU projects

There are also a number of small clarifying changes, applicable to several measures. Please refer to the Summary of Measure List Changes Dec 20, 2021, for more details.
