2023 Bolton CIP Appendix2 Energy Carbon Reduction Grant

The 2023 Bolton CIP Appendix 2 – Energy & Carbon Reduction Grant document outlines the specifics of a targeted funding program under the Bolton Community Improvement Plan (CIP). It details how eligible property owners and businesses in the Bolton core may receive up to 50% cost-sharing (to a specified maximum) for energy audits, recommissioning, retrofits, renewable energy systems, HVAC upgrades, smart building controls, EV charging stations and building envelope improvements — all focused on delivering significant energy savings and carbon-emission reductions.

‍

Stream 1 establishes funding up to $10,000 for energy audits/feasibility studies, smart controls or envelope improvements; Stream 2 scales up to $25,000 for major HVAC and control upgrades on larger facilities; Stream 3 provides up to $40,000 for advanced measures including green roofs, ground/air-source heat pumps, process-waste-heat recovery and renewable installations. The document specifies eligibility criteria, required documentation, performance metrics (minimum 25% energy savings or 30% carbon reduction in many cases), and detailed invoice/engineering requirements.
