Mining supply and service companies that are Greater Sudbury Hydro customers have new opportunities to reduce operating costs, improve energy performance, and strengthen long-term competitiveness through the province’s Save on Energy programs.
For energy-intensive businesses in the mining sector, such as manufacturers, fabricators, technology providers, maintenance firms, and logistics companies, Save on Energy offers financial incentives, training, and technical support for common upgrades including lighting retrofits, HVAC and equipment improvements, process optimization, automation, as well as feasibility studies and larger capital projects that enhance facility performance.
“Energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways mining supply companies can take control of their operating costs while strengthening overall business resilience,” said Jill Kirwan, Energy Business Development at Greater Sudbury Hydro. “For companies supporting mining and industrial operations, efficiency improvements can deliver meaningful long-term savings.”
In addition to equipment upgrades, businesses can also explore opportunities to better manage peak demand and optimize how and when electricity is used. Strategic energy planning can help stabilize operating expenses, improve production performance, and position companies more competitively within mining supply chains that increasingly value sustainability and cost control.
“These programs highlight the real financial savings that energy projects provide,” said Kirwan. “They help businesses reinvest savings into growth, innovation, and workforce development, while also supporting a stronger local electricity system.”
