Energy Efficiency Alberta, an agency established as part of Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan, is gearing up to launch three initial energy efficiency programs for Albertans in early 2017.
This release was issued under a previous government.
“Putting a price on carbon pollution allows us to deliver efficiency programs that will help Albertans save energy and save money as we diversify our economy and create good jobs.”
Energy Efficiency Alberta will promote and support energy efficiency and community energy systems (including micro-generation and small-scale generation) for homes, businesses and communities.
Initial programs include a Direct Install Residential Program, a Residential Consumer Products Program and a Business Non-Profit and Institutional Rebate Program.
As part of today’s announcement the Chair and Board of Directors of Energy Efficiency Alberta were named. They are:
“Albertans have a keen interest in clean energy and energy efficiency. I look forward to working with them to leverage that interest, help them save energy, help make businesses more competitive and support new jobs in energy efficiency and clean energy."
Until now, Alberta was the only jurisdiction in North America without energy efficiency programming. To ensure that Albertans receive access to programs in a timely manner, the government is releasing a Request for Proposals to support the agency. The RFPs will identify third parties who are capable of delivering programs so Albertans can begin participating early next year.
