Accessing affordable financing is one of the biggest barriers property owners face when deciding to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)-style program that helps people make energy efficient upgrades to their properties without having to put money down. The cost of the upgrade is recovered through the owner’s property taxes.
Property owners who choose to make improvements would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs, stimulate local economies and save money on their energy bills.
The program is voluntary for municipalities and property owners.
Eligible projects focus on energy efficiency or on-site renewable energy such as solar power, upgraded insulation and high-efficiency heating.
Clean energy improvements are available to residential and commercial properties and farm land. A complete list of upgrades will be posted on Energy Efficiency Alberta’s website.
