EDMONTON \u2013 The City of Edmonton is launching its Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) permanently on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n
The CEIP lets residential and commercial property owners access long-term, competitive financing for retrofits such as installing solar photovoltaic systems, upgrading insulation or improving heating and cooling systems, a City of Edmonton release said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The financed amount is then repaid through the owners\u2019 property taxes.<\/p>\n
“Edmontonians are deeply committed to building a sustainable future, and the Clean Energy Improvement Program is a key part of our efforts to transition to emission-neutral buildings and enhance the quality of life in our city. By making energy-efficient and renewable energy upgrades more accessible, we are taking meaningful steps towards our goal of becoming a climate-resilient city,\u201d Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi said in a statement.<\/p>\n
In May 2024 Edmonton City Council approved the bylaw to formally create the permanent program following a successful pilot program in 2022.<\/p>\n
