The Saskatchewan Research Council's (SRC) Municipal Energy Conservation Program provides municipalities with financial assistance to become more energy efficient, reduce energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An area coordinator will schedule a visit with your municipality to do a complete inventory of all municipal buildings.  A room-by-room inventory is taken, analyzing all lighting and heating equipment, pumps and motors. Once this information is collected a detailed report will be written, which outlines the current equipment installed, recommended equipment upgrades and the associated energy and cost savings.  Once the report is completed, an application for funding for through SRC may be submitted. The maximum amount of reimbursement funding that is available in any one fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) is $100,000 per municipality. The inventory and report are a FREE SERVICE available to all municipalities.

Another useful tool is the Saskatchewan Energy Conservation Database, where Saskatchewan Municipalities can view facility profiles for each municipal building with a room-by-room log of current lighting equipment, and a corresponding energy efficient upgrade.

The database may also be used to examine power and energy consumption of individual buildings. This can be a useful tool to help monitor and analyze cost savings when making energy conservation choices for your municipality.
