Using LED lighting in your operation is a great place to start, and your plants will thank you. The IESO\u2019s Greenhouse Energy Profile Study found that LEDs offer two very important advantages over traditional HPS lamps:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201c1) LEDs are a point light source with directional output, where HPS lamps emit light in a 360-degree sphere.

It is much more cost-effective for them to reduce energy production than it is to build and maintain additional infrastructure, like power plants and transmission lines. Most utilities have a fund you pay into as a percentage of your monthly bill that contributes directly to rebates and incentives, and your taxes also fund programs that reward energy efficiency.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div id=\"text-2365989159\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h4 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Types of LED incentive programs and rebates<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Rebates and incentives can account for 25-50% of a new technology purchase and 25-100% of a retrofit, so growers can really benefit. These programs come in several forms, but prescriptive and custom are most often applied to commercial horticulture lighting customers:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2365989159 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-464161575\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" aria-level=\"3\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Prescriptive Lighting Rebates<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-464161575 {\n  color: #6ebd8f;\n}\n#text-464161575 > * {\n  color: #6ebd8f;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2227393796\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Prescriptive incentives are a set dollar amount or percentage paid based on equipment type purchased. For example, if you upgrade to LEDs in BC, New Brunswick and the Yukon, 25% of the costs could be covered. While PEI could cover up to 50%. Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, and other provinces are providing a set dollar amount per fixture, as high as $375 per unit.

The amounts range between $0.15 to $0.30 per kWh saved, calculated based on how your old equipment performed and how new LED equipment is projected to perform. To access these funds, you need to provide documentation to back up your calculations and submit it to the utility for pre-approval. It sounds complicated, but we can help. The process does become a bit more complex when applying for a rebate for new construction using LEDs since there is no historical data with which to calculate expected savings. But not to worry, we can provide you with a custom LED lighting plan that can be used to calculate energy saved versus using HPS fixtures in the space.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div id=\"text-3693602294\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Important:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3693602294 {\n  color: #6ebd8f;\n}\n#text-3693602294 > * {\n  color: #6ebd8f;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">While considering your options, remember to look for rebates and incentives for installing or upgrading LED lighting controls, not just the lights.
