Changes to BC Hydro’s Power Smart Incentive Program for Stratas

As of January 1, 2013, all residential stratas applying for Power Smart incentives for simple retrofits to common areas are to apply through the Product Incentive Program (PIP) instead of Power Smart Partner Express (PSPX). 

Enhanced Product Incentives for the Power Smart PIP Program:

• BC Hydro’s PIP provides cash rebates on more than 10,000 energy efficient technologies to reduce your energy costs including lighting, refrigeration, and commercial cooking equipment.
• BC Hydro PIP participants can receive an additional 10% from LiveSmart BC.
• For information on enhanced incentives through BC Hydro's PIP program, visit www.bchydro.com/incentives or phone 1-866-522-4713.

Customers with invoices which pre-date January 1, 2013 must proceed through PSPX and those with invoices after January 1, 2013 will only be eligible for PIP.  Applications for PIP must be submitted within 120 days of the invoice date, and only specified retrofits and products listed on BC Hydro’s e.Catalog are eligible for incentives. 

Before starting your project, please contact the Power Smart Business Helpdesk at 1-866-522-4713 to confirm your eligibility. To determine which program is right for you, check out the Program Eligibility Tool at www.bchydro.com.

Spring Hope Food Drive

Landlords already offer a very important service to over one third of British Columbians by providing accommodations for those who choose to - or have no choice but to - rent their homes. ROMS BC and BCAOMA are proud to provide you and your tenants with an opportunity to facilitate giving to those who need our assistance in this fragile time of year. 

Many of our members have signed up their buildings for this inspiring event and food will be collected on March 21st. If you not registered for the Spring Hope food Drive and reside in Victoria, there is a bin for non-perishable food at the ROMS BC Office. For more details call us at 250. 382.6324 or toll free at 1.888.330.6707.
