Ontario's Industrial Energy Services Program
Abstract
The Ontario Ministry of Energy began offering
its new Industrial Energy Services Program (IESP)
in early 1987. This 3-year, $5-million program,
while not new in concept, is thought to be unique
for its depth of service and method of delivery.
It provides Ontario's manufacturers with advice
and funding assistance for the identification and
definition of industrial energy efficiency
opportunities.
The first phase provides for a free comprehensive
site energy audit/analysis, conducted over
one to five days, by teams of private sector consultants,
selected to match expertise with manufacturer's
needs. The emphasis is on process and
equipment improvements, but site services and
buildings are also examined. The final report
includes detailed descriptions of major opportunities,
along with estimated costs, savings, and
paybacks.
The next phases provide for sharing the
detailed feasibility study costs and project
engineering costs for those energy projects that
move to implementation.
In this paper, the author briefly describes
the novel administrative structure of the program,
presents the results of the activities to date,
and describes, in some detail, several case
studies from different industrial sectors.
