Then, they will connect you to energy saving incentive programs, contractors and technology providers to help you make these improvements a reality. How do you register for the program? You can register through the Prince George Chamber of Commerce or directly by emailing Sorin Pasca, Business Energy Advisor at sorin@pgchamber.bc.ca Testimonials “I think a lot of businesses are aware there are incentive programs out there through BC Hydro and Fortis BC, but what we are providing is the personal service. We’re basically holding the hand of that business owner through every step, until they’ve got their incentive cheque back. They’re not alone and they’re not having to seek it all out themselves.â€?
