The Roving Energy Manager (REM) program helps municipalities navigate the ever-changing energy efficiency landscape by providing a free energy manager service.
This service helps municipalities identify, document, 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 (previous cohorts of the Roving Energy Manager program, the 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:
- Understand their state of energy management readiness
- Establish understanding of energy management principles
- Develop a customized energy planning scope
- Collect and organize energy consumption data
- Create and analyze an energy consumption inventory

- Develop actionable energy management recommendations
- Support informed decision-making and internal knowledge sharing
