Government Grants (Retrofits)

Saskatchewan Residents

The Government of Saskatchewan announced March 26, 2007 it has extended the Saskatchewan EnerGuide for Houses retrofit grant program until March 31, 2011. Individuals who qualify under this new program may also qualify for the ecoENERGY Retrofit Initiative introduced by the Federal government January 21, 2007 and launching April 1, 2007.

Saskatchewan Grant of $3,500 for Geothermal systems applies if you are replacing an existing wood, electrical, oil or propane primary heating system. To be eligible for the grant if replacing a natural gas heating system, the electricity to run the system must be generated on-site using a renewable resource. This criteria takes into consideration economics and the impact on the environment in Saskatchewan.

Sask Power Geothermal and Self-Generated Renewable Power Loan Program (New Construction)

In support of the province's Go Green Plan, SaskPower Eneraction has developed a loan program for residential and farm customers who choose to install a Canadian Geoexchange Coalition (CGC) certified geothermal heating and/or a renewable electricity system.

This program is applicable to residents who install a system in a new home, or choose to retrofit an existing home to accommodate a geothermal and/or renewable system.

Eligible customers can receive a loan for up to $25,000 to install a geothermal system, and/or a loan of up to $25,000 to install a renewable electricity generation system.

The minimum loan is $5,000 and the total of the loan(s) cannot exceed $50,000. The interest rate for this loan program is 2% lower than SaskPower’s standard lending rates, which will vary depending on the term of the loan(s).
