The Business Energy Advisor works with local businesses to help
them reduce their energy consumption and make the most of
rebates and incentives to do it.
Are you eligible? If you are a business and spend less than $200,000 on electricity per year then you may be eligible for the LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program.
A Business Energy Advisor will visit your business and work directly with you to identify potential energy and money saving opportunities, including lighting, hot water, heating and ventilation.
The Business Energy Advisor will preform a FREE walk-through energy assessment of your office or building. Then, they will connect you to energy saving incentive programs, contractors and technology providers to help you make these improvements a reality.
How do you register for the program? You can register through the Prince George Chamber of Commerce or directly by emailing Sorin Pasca, Business Energy Advisor at [email protected]
Testimonials “I think a lot of businesses are aware there are incentive programs out there through BC Hydro and Fortis BC, but what we are providing is the personal service. We’re basically holding the hand of that business owner through every step, until they’ve got their incentive cheque back. They’re not alone and they’re not having to seek it all out themselves.”
Dorothy Friesen, CEO, Prince George Chamber of Commerce

The Business Energy Advisor works with local businesses to help
them reduce their energy consumption and make the most of
rebates and incentives to do it.
Are you eligible? If you are a business and spend less than $200,000 on electricity per year then you may be eligible for the LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program.
A Business Energy Advisor will visit your business and work directly with you to identify potential energy and money saving opportunities, including lighting, hot water, heating and ventilation.
The Business Energy Advisor will preform a FREE walk-through energy assessment of your office or building. Then, they will connect you to energy saving incentive programs, contractors and technology providers to help you make these improvements a reality.
How do you register for the program? You can register through the Prince George Chamber of Commerce or directly by emailing Sorin Pasca, Business Energy Advisor at [email protected]
Testimonials “I think a lot of businesses are aware there are incentive programs out there through BC Hydro and Fortis BC, but what we are providing is the personal service. We’re basically holding the hand of that business owner through every step, until they’ve got their incentive cheque back. They’re not alone and they’re not having to seek it all out themselves.”
Dorothy Friesen, CEO, Prince George Chamber of Commerce
