ÉcoPerformance — Simplified Implementation

For Quebec businesses looking to cut energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the ÉcoPerformance — Simplified Implementation stream offers a practical way to move forward without complex project modelling. This initiative supports the rollout of well-defined efficiency, energy conversion, and fugitive emission reduction measures using pre-established funding amounts. By focusing on proven solutions rather than custom studies, the program helps companies act faster on projects that improve performance and environmental outcomes at the same time.

Delivered by Quebec’s Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, ÉcoPerformance is particularly relevant for sectors with significant energy use or emission challenges, including agriculture and agri-food, food and beverage processing, retail operations, utilities, and environmentally focused industries. Eligible small, medium-sized, and larger enterprises can receive non-repayable funding that offsets a portion of project costs, with support levels varying based on the type of measure implemented. Typical projects may involve upgrading energy systems, switching to cleaner energy sources, or reducing unintended emissions from existing operations.

Because the simplified stream relies on predefined, pre-quantified support, it can be a good fit for businesses that want clarity on funding expectations before committing to an investment. Applications are generally ongoing for businesses meeting certain requirements, making it worthwhile to explore whether your planned upgrades align with the measures covered under ÉcoPerformance and what level of support may be available.
