Sustainable Strategies contracted to provide energy management services to Capital Regional District

Victoria, BC – Sustainable Strategies Inc. has been awarded a 10 month contract to provide strategic energy management services to the Capital Regional District on Vancouver Island. The award followed a competitive two stage evaluation process in which Sustainable Strategies was found to be the most qualified proponent.

The nature of the assignment will involve Sustainable Strategies coordinating and providing a complete range of energy management services to the CRD and its 13 member municipalities in the greater Victoria area. The primary objective will be to complete energy retrofit studies at more than 40 facilities, to determine the extent to which attractive electricity, natural gas, oil, greenhouse gas, and water savings opportunities exist. Sustainable Strategies will be working with representatives from BC Hydro's Power Smart program to secure study and project implementation grant funding for the CRD.

Commenting on the upcoming assignment, Sustainable Strategies President, Dave Edwards, said, "The key to this project being successful is to demonstrate how the energy savings opportunities can result in both solid financial returns for the customers, as well as significant societal and environmental benefits... that is the essence of sustainability... looking for win-win situations that are core to the strategic objectives of the client."

The project will run until early 2004.
