Ontario Offering New LED Grow Light Incentives To SW Ontario Greenhouses

The Ontario provincial government announced new funding to help greenhouses switch from traditional lighting sources to LEDs. Ontario’s Ministry of Energy said last week that up to $136 million CAD will be invested to help greenhouse operators in southwestern Ontario improve energy efficiency by making changes like switching their grow lights to LEDs.

Support for greenhouses will come in the form of incentives to install LED grow lights and controls for lighting and environmental systems, including optional incentives for solar generation. The program is expected to be available in the spring of 2023. Many details about the incentives are not yet known.
