#20RFPERA001 - Energy Savings for Business Program

(a) ERA Overview
Since 2009 ERA has been a key player in helping to reduce GHGs, attract investment, and create jobs in the province. Originally known as the Climate Change Emissions Management (CCEMC) Corporation, ERA has been the mechanism for investing the carbon price paid by Large Emitters directly into clean technology solutions.

ERA is taking action to deliver results the world needs. ERA invests the carbon price paid by Large Emitters into innovative, GHG reducing technology projects. These investments help companies and innovators develop and demonstrate Alberta-based technologies that can lower emissions at home and be exported around the world.

(b) Program Background
The Program will offer prescriptive rebates to small and medium-scale industrial and commercial Projects that can be deployed quickly to create and preserve jobs, generate energy cost savings, stimulate the economy, and reduce GHG emissions.
