BC Hydro Power Smart Compressed Air Initiative
The Compressed Air Initiative focuses on optimizing large compressed air systems and may benefit your organization if you are experiencing:
- Frequent pressure drops
- Shortage of air
- High maintenance costs
- High moisture levels
- Oil carryover
Sponsoring agency:
BC Hydro
Type of agency:
Utility company
Eligibility
If you are an industrial customer that has a compressed air system greater than 200 hp, you are eligible to participate. If your compressed air system is smaller than 200 hp, there is also a Small Compressed Air Initiative (under 200 hp) offer.
Application procedure
A BC Hydro energy management engineer identifies opportunities by conducting a Compressed Air Saving Estimator (CASE) of your system. Based on the opportunities identified in the CASE, the next step would be a comprehensive investigation of your compressed air systems through an Energy Efficiency Feasibility Study.
After that, we will help you get your project off the ground by offering you financial incentives of up to 75% of the project cost. Our key account managers, engineers and pre-qualified consultants will work together to guide you through every stage of the process, from identifying and investigating efficiency opportunities to implementing successful projects.
For more information on the Compressed Air Initiative, contact your Key Account Manager or contact Customer Care at 604 453 6400 (Lower Mainland) or 1 866 453 6400 (elsewhere in BC).
