Let Us Help You Secure Financing for Building Energy Retrofits and Net-Zero Goals While Reducing Costs

WHAT WE DO

  1. Identify Projects
  2. Pre-screen and
  3. Connect to the best suitable funding source

Enhancing building optimization by unlocking a pipeline of bankable projects

OUR MISSION

We assist your business in obtaining incentives and low-cost capital for significant decarbonization initiatives and energy-efficient renovations, all without impacting your debt ratios.

Impact link bridges the gap between *Aggregators* (joint venture investment funds involving the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) and the private sector) and *Businesses* seeking funding for retrofit upgrades to reduce carbon emissions in their operations.

Accessing these funds will not impact your corporate finances, enabling you to invest in the future while lowering your current energy costs.

Many building owners are unaware of the retrofit financing options available in the market. We educate them about these

The Aggregators often face challenges in identifying viable investment opportunities. We take the time to understand their criteria and connect them with suitable projects.

We streamline project and transaction closings by tackling challenges for building owners and the funds.

HOW IT WORKS

We accelerate investments in decarbonization projects and major energy-efficient renovations in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential sectors.

1. Initial Screening

Impact Link collaborates with you (client) to assess whether the project aligns with investment criteria.

2. Audit and Project Plan

Technical partners, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), will conduct an audit to determine the technical and financial feasibility of the project and formulate a project plan.

3. Investment

Projects undergo assessment to ensure they meet Moody's investment-grade credit rating standards. After approval, clients enter into a financing agreement, and the funds are then disbursed.

4. Installation

ESCOs carry out the project implementation and oversee the commissioning of the equipment.

5. Performance Management

ESCOs consistently verify the energy savings generated by the implemented solutions throughout the term of the financing arrangement.

Energy As A Service

In collaboration with our partners, we develop and finance energy efficiency, retrofit, distributed generation, and building upgrades for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional facilities. Of the many benefits of the Energy-as-a-Service model, we combine 100% project financing with end-to-end project development and advisory services to execute your objectives
