Why Conserve?

Shelfspace has partnered with BC Hydro to promote energy efficiency and conservation within retail, with the goal of reducing consumption, environmental impacts and energy costs. This Energy Conservation Library has been compiled as your go-to resource of energy-saving tips and information for retailers in BC or Alberta.  BC Hydro also has programs to help improve your bottom line and integrate sustainable practices into your business. You'll also find tips on conserving electricity at home - because often, the same energy-saving actions can be applied both at home and in the workplace!

Saving energy: better for your wallet – and for the environment

The largest part of a BC Hydro bill goes toward the cost of producing electricity and delivering it to you. By encouraging you to keep your power use down, we can reduce how much power we have to generate through our own hydroelectric dams or buy from outside sources. This not only helps keep our costs lower, it also reduces your energy bills and creates a more secure energy future for British Columbia – and it’s better for the environment. To find out how your business can save, click www.bchydro.com/incentives or call 1-866-522-4713
