The program will provide 'one-window' access to funding for home energy efficiency upgrades through:

Peak Perks

Peak Perks participants save with their smart thermostats by participating in brief, time-limited thermostat adjustments during periods of peak electricity demand that can occur on the hottest summer days.

The program will be expanded to include water heating and electric vehicle charging.

Energy Affordability Program (EAP)

The EAP offers energy-saving upgrades for income-qualified households, tailored to the specific needs of your home, all at no cost.

The EAP is coordinated with the Enbridge Gas Home Winterproofing Program.

First Nation programs for on-reserve First Nation communities

The First Nations Community Building Retrofit Program provides up to $330,000 per community to support energy efficiency projects in band-owned and operated commercial and institutional facilities.

The Remote First Nations Energy-Efficiency Program provides funding to support remote First Nations communities to implement energy-efficiency projects.

Local Initiatives Program

This program supports programming in areas identified as constrained, meaning they do not have the electricity capacity to grow.

Smart renovations and efficiency upgrades

If you’re renovating your home to make it more energy efficient or replacing an appliance or upgrading your home to save energy, make the following smart and efficient choices:

  • choose more energy efficient home appliances, such as washing machines, clothes dryers and kitchen appliances
  • upgrade the insulation in your walls, attic or basement
  • upgrade your windows to high-performing, energy efficient windows
  • invest in a more efficient air conditioner
  • replace your thermostat with a smart thermostat

Look for the ENERGY STAR symbol when choosing appliances. This is the internationally recognized and trusted mark of high efficiency.

Once you have installed a smart thermostat, you can save with the Peak Perks program by participating in brief, time-limited thermostat adjustments during periods of peak electricity demand.

Electrification

When it’s time to upgrade your home heating and cooling system, consider the following options.

Heat pump

A heat pump can work in a hybrid setup with a natural gas, oil or propane furnace to reduce your overall energy bills. You can also choose an all-electric heat pump system to further reduce your carbon footprint.

Electric vehicle If you make the decision to switch to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or a battery electric vehicle (BEV). You can use the Ultra-Low Overnight electricity price plan to save money.

Solar panels

Installing rooftop solar panels, with rebates through the Home Renovation Savings Program, can reduce electricity bills and help you enjoy long-term savings.

Simple steps to improve your home comfort

Make the following small energy efficient changes in your home to save money on energy bills:

  • use the smart settings on your smart appliances
  • read user manuals or online tutorials to find out if you’re maximizing the benefit of your smart devices
  • replace furnace filters every three months to reduce energy use
  • caulk and weather-strip doors and windows to keep heat in
  • use energy-efficient LED bulbs to save money on your energy bill
  • spin ceiling fans counterclockwise in the summer for a cool downdraft, and clockwise in winter to circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling
  • keep sliding door tracks clean to make sure the seal doesn’t get damaged or let cool air out
  • don’t leave your electronics on or plugged in overnight because they may draw power even when they’re not being used
  • use advance power strips that can automatically disconnect specific items depending upon the power draw

Choose how your electricity is billed

Most residential electricity customers can choose from the following three electricity price plans:

  • If you use more electricity during a certain period of the day, then Time-of-use (TOU) might be the best electricity price plan for your energy needs.
  • With a Tiered price plan, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price. Once the limit is exceeded, a higher price applies.
  • If you use more electricity overnight, the Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) price plan might fit your energy needs.

You can also input your average monthly electricity use into the calculator to find out what plan best suits your energy needs.

Track your energy use with a Green Button app

Use Green Button to track your energy use with your smartphone to save money on your electricity and natural gas bills. Green Button allows you to access:

  • your electricity or natural gas usage data to assist with managing energy consumption and details of your energy use over time

The app can help you find ways to use less energy to help lower bills, such as suggesting customized energy efficiency retrofit options and a more suitable electricity price plan.
