Clear answer, explained.
Headline programs include the federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (up to 30%), Enhanced First-Year CCA (100% accelerated depreciation), provincial saveONenergy / Save on Energy LED retrofit incentives, and IESO Demand Response programs for assets with battery storage or flexible loads. We screen eligibility during the assessment and manage applications end-to-end alongside the project.
Key points
What this means in practice.
- Federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit: up to 30% refundable on eligible solar, storage, and EV capital costs
- Enhanced First-Year CCA: 100% accelerated depreciation on eligible clean energy investments in the first year
- Ontario saveONenergy Retrofit Incentive Program: prescriptive and custom incentives for LED, HVAC, and controls upgrades
- IESO Demand Response programs: ongoing revenue for CRE assets with battery storage or flexible loads
- All applicable programs are screened during the assessment phase — not assumed
- Applications are managed end-to-end alongside the project — including eligibility review, preparation, submission, and payout support
When this applies
Best-fit environments.
- You own or manage a commercial real estate asset and want to identify all applicable incentive programs before project commitment
- You are preparing a project financial model and need the net capital cost after incentives for lender or investor review
- You want to understand how IESO Demand Response programmes generate ongoing revenue from battery storage on a CRE asset
- You want to confirm GI manages the incentive application process rather than leaving it to the asset owner
