Custom project forms updated
The Custom Made Projects support form now adds pre-admission timing, a 90-working-day funding hold window, and a fuller document checklist before participation can be approved.
The Custom Made Projects support form now shows a pre-admission process with receipt confirmation within 10 business days and a 90-working-day window tied to the funding hold. It also says required participation documents must be submitted within 90 working days or the funding amount is no longer available. The participation workflow now includes a customer-filled feasibility study section, a declaration, and a more detailed submission checklist, while the custom-made project page still shows financial assistance of $1 per cubic metre saved, up to 40% of the incremental cost or $75,000, and the feasibility study page still shows up to $2,500.
Eligibility
Who is eligible?
- Commercial customers of Enbridge Gaz Québec (Gazifère) with natural gas as their primary heating source
Who is not eligible
- Companies whose measures are already subsidized under another Enbridge Gaz Québec program.
- Projects that only involve operating habits and require no investment.
- Projects limited to maintenance, repairs, or replacement after a breakdown.
- Measures with a payback period of less than one year.
Eligible expenses
- Incremental costs for the acquisition and installation of energy-efficient natural gas equipment not covered by other Enbridge or Gazifère programs.
- Engineering and material costs directly related to implementing approved energy efficiency measures.
- Costs associated with building envelope and mechanical system upgrades using natural gas, when not already subsidized by other programs.
Ineligible Costs and Activities
- Measures already covered under another Enbridge Gaz Québec program.
- Measures directly related to operations or consumption habits that require no investment.
- Maintenance measures, including repairs or replacement after a breakdown.

Selection criteria
- Measures must target the reduction of natural gas consumption.
- Proposed energy-saving measures must be recommended by a professional engineer (for existing buildings) or included in an energy simulation (for new buildings).
- Natural gas savings must be supported by detailed calculations comparing current or standard reference scenarios to anticipated efficient scenarios, using recognized engineering methods.
- The project must demonstrate that the payback period (PRI) for the measures is at least one year; if not, the financial assistance will be adjusted.
- Measures already covered by another Enbridge Gaz Québec or Gazifère incentive program are not eligible under this component.
