Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)

CEIP grew substantially in 2022, expanding to include six additional residential programs in the:

■ Town of Devon,

■ City of Edmonton,

■ City of Leduc,

■ Town of Athabasca,

■ Town of Canmore, and

■ City of St. Albert.

Another nine municipalities passed Clean Energy Improvement bylaws during the year.

The first Clean Energy Improvement Program for commercial property owners in Alberta was also launched in the City of Edmonton in June 2022. It is currently Canada’s only active clean energy financing program for commercial property owners, providing approximately $7 million in financing and will support an estimated 20 projects.

We expect the momentum for this program to continue throughout 2023 with planned launches in several more locations including the City of Calgary, City of Lethbridge, City of Grande Prairie, Sturgeon County, Strathcona County, and others.

By the end of 2022, there were:

279 project submissions, 86 active projects, 5 completed projects, and over 175 qualified contractors in our directory.
