Energy Efficiency Projects
Operations savings
Upfront Costs
• Simple to implement in comparison to other funding methods• Funds revolve indefinitely creating
a source of funds for the long-term• Takes stress off of utility budget• Does not effect any debt or taxes
Resources
• ICSP Implementation Guide
• Municipal Climate Change Mitigation Plan
• Other municipal energy management plans: Halifax, Bridgewater, Annapolis Royal, Whitehorse
