TowerWise NewsZero interest financing The City of Toronto has now extended its zero interest loan program for energy conservation and efficiency projects in multi-residential buildings to private sector buildings. Sustainable Energy Fund interest-free loans are capped at 49 per cent of a project's total eligible costs, to a maximum of $1 million per project from each of two funds: the Toronto Energy Conservation Fund (TECF) and the Toronto Green Energy Fund (TGEF). The TECF specifically supports energy conservation projects as part of a retrofit to an existing building. The TGEF supports the undertaking of a renewable energy project as part of an existing building retrofit or a new construction project. Certain projects may qualify for funding through both funds to a maximum of $2 million. More details are available at www.toronto.ca/energy/sef.
