This downloadable application, developed by the CETC in Varennes, Quebec, can be used to help companies of all sizes determine which renewable energy sources will meet their needs most efficiently and cost-effectively.

The RETScreen International Clean Energy Decision Support Centre seeks to build the capacity of planners, decision-makers and industry to implement renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. This objective is achieved by: developing decision-making tools (e.g. RETScreen Software) that reduce the cost of pre-feasibility studies; disseminating knowledge to help people make better decisions; and by training people to better analyse the technical and financial viability of possible projects.

The RETScreen International Clean Energy Project Analysis Software is a unique decision support tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from government, industry, and academia. The software, provided free-of-charge, can be used worldwide to evaluate the energy production and savings, life-cycle costs, emission reductions, financial viability and risk for various types of energy efficient and renewable energy technologies (RETs). The software also includes product, cost and climate databases, and a detailed online user manual. Other tools include: a case study based college/university-level training course; an engineering electronic textbook; and this Website. All of these tools are available free-of-charge in English and French, with many of the tools available in other languages.
