HIGH GO SOLAR! TIRED OF ELECTRICITY BILLS?
from County Connections
The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is a new, voluntary, financing tool to help property owners pay the upfront costs of energy efficient and renewable energy upgrades.
CEIP is an optional program, and homeowners only apply if they want to join the program. The program allows you to take advantage of a competitive interest rate and convenient repayment through your property taxes.
Eligible residential upgrades include:
> doors, windows, insulation and air sealing heating, ventilation and air conditioning
The program is administered through Alberta municipalities. Sturgeon County has invested $705,700 to fund CEIP projects that will be paid back through residential property taxes.
The program is currently available for residential buildings, but in the future, it will be expanded to include non-residential developments such as commercial buildings and farms.
In addition to helping homeowners finance home upgrades, the program also creates local jobs, provides more resilient building stock, and helps achieve sustainability goals.
