Companies wishing to go beyond compliance and are motivated to invest in energy efficiency measures that result in cost-beneficial energy savings may be eligible for EPAP funding in areas that are likely to include:

• Machinery, compressors, and process equipment.
• Energy efficient boilers.
• Energy efficient chillers.
• In-process modifications.
• Reduced heat losses and/or waste heat recovery systems.
• Combined heat and power (CHP).
• Alternative fuels (less carbon intense).

Projects for funding should:

• Provide energy savings with the NPV of the benefits to be >50% of the investment cost.
• Result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

It should be noted that:

• Replacing equipment deemed to be at the end of its technical life is not eligible.
• CHP plants will be assessed case-by-case.  In all cases, the CO2 emissions must be <250g CO2 / kWhe and primary energy savings must be >10%.
• For alternative fuels, there should be >5% thermal substitution of fossil fuels. 
• Treatment, processing, and preparation of alternative fuels at waste collection facilities can be eligible.
