Edgecom Energy partners with Efficiency Nova Scotia to deliver the Smart Synergy Program, offering industrial customers incentives for shifting peak energy use.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, January 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Edgecom Energy is proud to announce a new partnership with Efficiency Nova Scotia to help deliver the Smart Synergy Program, an initiative designed to reward industrial customers in Nova Scotia for shifting their electricity use during peak demand events.
Through the program, eligible participants can receive financial incentives by reducing or shifting their energy consumption during times of peak demand. Edgecom Energy will work directly with Efficiency Nova Scotia’s customers to simplify enrollment, assess each facility’s demand response potential, and provide day-ahead notifications of when adjustments are needed.
Demand response programs are especially important for industrial customers, whose large-scale operations can significantly impact overall electricity demand. Adjusting consumption during peak periods helps these customers ensure there is always enough electricity to keep the grid running reliably. This reduces the need for costly, carbon-intensive peaking power plants, improves grid stability, and supports the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system.
“By participating in Smart Synergy, businesses can play an active role in strengthening Nova Scotia’s electricity system,” said Stephen MacDonald, President & CEO, EfficiencyOne, the not-for-profit administrator of Efficiency Nova Scotia. “This partnership with Edgecom Energy is helping customers adjust their operations when it matters most, delivering financial benefits and ensuring a cleaner, more reliable grid for everyone.”
Tanner Behrend, VP, Strategic Growth at Edgecom Energy, emphasized the company’s excitement to partner on this program:
“We’re thrilled to be working with Efficiency Nova Scotia to deliver the Smart Synergy Program. Demand response programs like this are essential for creating a more resilient, cost-effective, and sustainable energy system. Our technology and expertise make it seamless for both new and returning customers to participate and maximize their benefits.”
The Smart Synergy Program supports Nova Scotia’s broader energy goals by improving grid stability, reducing reliance on expensive peak generation, and contributing to the province’s environmental targets.
