Insulation Rebate

CO₂RE is offering an incentive for insulation upgrades with a rebate of up to $250. This rebate, available to Edmonton residents, piggybacks on the federal and provincial insulation rebates that offers up to $8,000. Program restrictions apply.

Edmonton Solar-Electric Pilot Program

In response to greater demand for responsive technologies and focused approaches to reducing CO₂ emissions, the City of Edmonton introduced a short-term solar-electric pilot program that offered a limited number of rebates for home and business owners interested in installing solar-electric systems to generate electricity.

Provincial Rebates Still Available

The province is investing $36 million in consumer rebates to help Albertans reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the three-year program, rebates are available to existing homeowners who improve their energy efficiency, to new home buyers who purchase energy efficient homes and to taxi operators who are transitioning their fleet to hybrid vehicles.

Eligible purchases, which are retroactive to January 1, 2009, include:

• new homes that achieve a high level of energy efficiency
• energy evaluations for homeowners to assess the current energy efficiency of their home and to measure its efficiency after home improvements are made
• efficient home heating systems, hot water heating systems, clothes washers and insulation upgrades

The rebate program will be run by Climate Change Central, a non-profit organization created in 2000 to empower Albertans to take action on climate change. For specific information on what purchases are eligible and how to apply for a rebate, visit Climate Change Central or call toll free at 1-888-537-7202. For information on the rebate, please see their announcement.
