Energy Conservation Program

---

The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) encourages the efficient use of energy and water, and the utilization of northern resources in a manner consistent with the economic and social well-being of residents. To assist community funded departments, boards and agencies, and non-profit organizations in achieving these goals, the Energy Conservation Program is available to support projects which reduce our usage of electrical and heat energy, and water.

There is no application form for the Energy Conservation Program because a wide variety of different projects can be eligible for funding. Historically, the Energy Conservation Program has been used to correct or upgrade existing lighting, heating, ventilation, water and electrical systems. Examples of projects have included the installation of energy efficient equipment, the upgrade of existing equipment, heat recovery systems, and energy use monitoring or control systems. Typically, these types of projects also result in environmental benefits, including a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases. Studies, workshops or other activities that will lead to future energy conservation projects will be considered.
