Government of Canada to establish next phase of Canada Greener Homes Initiative to help more Canadians save on their energy bills.
February 5, 2024 Ottawa, Ontario Natural Resources Canada
Home energy improvements like heat pump installations and drafty window replacements can help Canadians save hundreds of dollars on their energy bills every year.
Since launching the Canada Greener Homes Grant program three years ago, the federal government has helped over 165,000 Canadians upgrade their homes and save an average of $386 per year on their energy bills. As the program continues, the Government of Canada expects to help over half a million Canadians upgrade their homes and save on their bills.
Building on the success of the program and in response to evolving needs, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced that the federal government will establish a new phase of the Canada Greener Homes Initiative. As a key part of Canada’s forthcoming Canada Green Buildings Strategy, which will focus on energy and housing affordability, this next phase will offer supports that are more accessible to Canadian households with low to median incomes, so that energy cost-savings are available to those who need them most.
To date, the Canada Greener Homes Grant program has been successful in incentivizing Canadians to make the retrofits needed to reduce emissions and energy bills. It has also been open to Canadian households of all income levels, and while many have had the means to access both the Grant and Loan programs to complete their retrofits, this option isn’t financially accessible for everyone. The next phase of the Canada Greener Homes Initiative will ensure those who may not have the financial means to access it, can.
“The enormous popularity of the first phase of the Canada Greener Homes Grant illustrates Canadians’ desire for their homes to be affordable, comfortable, and sustainable. As hundreds of thousands of Canadians continue to retrofit their homes with Government of Canada support, we are readying the next phase of the Canada Greener Homes Initiative to offer more accessible supports to families across the country who need it most while continuing to take action on climate change.”
The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
•The Canada Greener Homes Grant has offered Canadians grants of up to $5,000 to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes and up to $600 to pay for an EnerGuide home energy evaluation, before and after retrofits. Eligible home upgrades include replacing windows and doors, adding insulation, sealing air leaks, improving heating and cooling systems (e.g., heat pumps) and installing smart thermostats and solar panels.
Out of the over half a million households that have applied for a Greener Homes Grant to-date, over 165,000 have received grants. Given that, on average, 1.2 tonnes/year of pollution are reduced for every home that receives a Canada Greener Homes Grant, this has meant a reduction of 194,700 tonnes/year of pollution under the program to date, the equivalent of taking almost 60,000 cars off the road.
