7.4.2.1.2 The Companies’ Contribution for EcoEnergy Home<br />

Energy Assessments Through LiveSmart BC<br />

As a result of the success of the original LiveSmart BC offer in 2008, the program was<br />

oversubscribed as of August 2009. At that time, the Companies joined the electric utilities, BC<br />

Hydro and <strong>FortisBC</strong>, in providing a $75 subsidy for EcoEnergy Home Energy Assessments. The<br />

Companies subsidized a total of 10,236 assessments for a contribution of $768,000 from<br />

August 16, 2009 through <strong>March</strong> <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>, which is the provincial fiscal year end. Table 7-4<br />

provides an overview of participation for <strong>FEI</strong> and <strong>FEVI</strong>. Due to the nature of this project, in that<br />

the assessment is an evaluation step only, the Companies recognize that no energy savings<br />

can be claimed directly as a result of this program. Rather, the home energy assessment is an<br />

avenue into other retrofit incentives that result in energy savings.<br />

The following Table 7-4 shows the Companies subsidized over 10,000 home energy<br />

assessments for a $768,000 contribution to customers participating in the LiveSmart BC<br />

program.<br />
