Federal Government Expands Greener Homes Affordability Program to BC, QC, NS and PE
On Monday, at the International Energy Agency (IEA) Global Energy Efficiency Conference in Montreal, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, and the Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature, announced the expansion of the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program to Quebec, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. This builds on the existing partnership with Manitoba.
Retrofits undertaken via the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program will help participants save between $300 and $1,700 in annual energy costs and reduce their household’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by about 1.5 tonnes. Over $500 million in funding, $300 million of which is federal, will be directed to help over 35,000 low- and median-income households install heat pumps, better insulation, improved air sealing and other upgrades at no cost, which will reduce their energy bills and lower their household emissions. The Program will be delivered in co-ordination with all four provinces, as well as with Hydro-Québec, BC Hydro, Fortis BC and EfficiencyOne.
