Limited-Time Offer: Extra 30% Incentive for LED Upgrades

If your business is considering a lighting upgrade, now is the time to take action.

BC Hydro has announced a 30% bonus incentive for eligible energy efficiency projects—including LED lighting retrofits—submitted between June 3, 2025, and February 12, 2026. This bonus is applied on top of existing incentives available through key programs and is designed to help organizations reduce capital costs and accelerate returns on investment.

Eligible programs include:

• Business Energy Saving Incentives (BESI)
• Self-serve Incentive Program (SIP)

Please note: Projects under CleanBC and Low Carbon Electrification are not eligible for this bonus funding.

How It Works (Illustrative Example)  

Let’s break down a typical lighting retrofit project to show how the incentives apply:

• Project Cost: $100,000
• Average BC Hydro Incentive (approx. 30%): $30,000
• Bonus Top-Up (30% of the base incentive): $7,500
• Total Incentives: $37,500
• Net Project Cost After Incentives: $62,500

This example shows how stacking incentives can significantly reduce your upfront costs—making energy-efficient upgrades more affordable than ever.

Note: BC Hydro incentives typically range from 25% up to 50% of project costs, depending on the scope and energy savings. All figures are for illustrative purposes only. Final incentive amounts are determined by BC Hydro.
