SCRD STAFF REPORT

DATE: July 19, 2011

TO: Regular Board – July 28, 2011 FROM: Johan Stroman, Community Energy Manager

RE: Fortis BC Funding Agreement for Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Initiatives

RECOMMENDATION(S) THAT the Community Energy Manager report entitled “Fortis BC Funding Agreement for Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Initiatives” be received; AND THAT the funding agreement between SCRD and Fortis BC Energy in the amount of $ 10,000 to support Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Initiatives be approved; AND FURTHER THAT the Chair and Corporate Officer be authorized to sign the agreement. BACKGROUND On May 27, 2010, the Board adopted the Sunshine Coast Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP). Funding was allocated in the 2011 Budget towards implementation of projects in the Plan. Staff was directed to identify funding opportunities to subsidize the cost of implementation of CEEP programs and projects. DISCUSSION Staff has been in contact with Fortis BC to identify areas where funding may be available to assist with programs in the CEEP and Fortis BC has expressed interest in two of those initiatives:

Home Energy Retrofits, and ClimateSmart

Fortis BC has agreed to provide $5,000 funding to support the recently adopted Home Energy Retrofits program (Bylaw 535.6, 2011 adopted July 14, 2011) and an additional $5,000 to subsidize the cost of up to 10 Sunshine Coast businesses to participate in the Climate Smart program that is currently being promoted. Through the use of software and hands on training Climate Smart helps businesses track and reduce energy use, carbon emissions as well as developing strategies to cut costs, improve operational efficiencies and gain a competitive edge. Businesses leave the training with energy and emissions related business data to use in reports, RFPs and bids as they see fit to support communications of the greening of their business. The training also helps participants access utility incentives and rebates.

"H"

42

Staff Report to Regular Board Regarding Fortis BC Funding Agreement Page 2 Following are some of the benefits that the SCRD and the region would realize through this Fortis BC funding:

Reducing costs to taxpayers for the SCRD to assist businesses and home-owners to benefit from these initiatives;

Coordination of Fortis BC specific benefits for businesses ensures that participating businesses are better informed of opportunities for savings through various Fortis BC incentive and rebate programs; and

Opportunities to communicate successes via Fortis BC’s communications work are elevated which can profile efforts to reduce energy and emissions reductions.

By accepting this funding, the SCRD is committing to complete a set of three training sessions with Climate Smart this fall. The Climate Smart work is identified as a priority in 2011 CEEP Work Plan and funding has already been allocated. For the Home Energy Retrofits program the SCRD is committing to undertake the program with electoral area home owners, provide opportunities to gather home owner success stories and share and communicate those stories and assess ways to improve and enhance this initiative for subsequent years. Both initiatives and the funding being received address pre-existing, unfolding work identified and supported by existing CEEP Workplan time and a portion of the required budget. SUMMARY Fortis BC’s funding provides the SCRD with an excellent opportunity to reduce costs for local homeowners and businesses seeking ways to save on energy and emissions reductions.
