Roving Energy Manager

The Roving Energy Manager (REM) program helps municipalities navigate the ever-changing energy efficiency landscape by providing a free, fractional energy manager service.

This service helps municipalities identify, report and implement energy-saving opportunities. The program provides the in-house capacity of an energy manager without the added cost of hiring one.

This program provides solutions to communities with limited energy management experience and to those that have not previously engaged in the Action Centre’s previous energy management initiatives (Municipal Energy Manager Program, Municipal Energy Champions Program or the Recreation Energy Conservation program).

Participating in this program will help your municipality:

Understand energy use and management
Better track municipal energy consumption
Move forward in the energy planning process
Learn how to identify energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
Develop an approach for energy management initiatives
Access up to $10,000 to implement specific energy management opportunities

HOW IT WORKS

The Roving Energy Manager program provides participants with technical assistance and education to:

Complete a scoping activity to create a customized energy planning approach
Identify, collect, and enter energy consumption data
Develop an energy consumption inventory
Identify energy management opportunities for municipal operations via site visits to communities or virtual audit options
Create energy management plan recommendations for their municipality, including a list of priorities and suggestions of key plan elements
Provide access to energy efficiency software and measurement tools
Receive advice on project implementation and guidance on applications, proposals to relevant programs
Deliver learning activities on energy management and climate action solutions

To help municipalities implement their energy management plans, participating municipalities are eligible for up to $10,000 to support energy efficiency projects.
