Welland Hydro-Electric System Corp. recently presented Woodrose Co-operative Homes with a cheque for $3,492 after completing an extensive lighting retrofit throughout all three of their buildings located at 855 Ontario Road - where older, inefficient lighting was replaced with energy efficient lighting. “We are very motivated to continually improve our buildings” said Nancy Buote, President of the Woodrose Co-operative Homes Board of Directors. “Energy efficiencies and environmental benefits are extremely important to our Board and our residents and we incorporate these considerations into all decisions related to building improvements”.

Woodrose Co-operative Homes took advantage of the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program, commonly referred to as ERIP, offered by Welland Hydro-Electric System Corp. which offers financial incentives to consumers for making energy efficient upgrades.

Retrofitting an existing facility with newer equipment is natural business practice. Technological improvements often make the newer equipment more efficient and effective than the ones you are replacing. For electricity driven equipment, this is almost certainly the case.

We appreciate that when your business is making choices with regards to equipment replacement options, the desired choice is for the most efficient solution. Unfortunately, this desired solution is not always realized often due to financial reasons.

The Ontario Power Authority (OPA), in cooperation with Welland Hydro-Electric System Corp., want to help you achieve your desired solution by offering you the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP). Extended until December 31, 2010, ERIP offers you financial incentives for retrofits that result in peak demand savings and/or a reduction in annual electricity consumption.

We hope you will be able to join us for an information session designed to explain the ERIP program, and how it can benefit you.
