Home Energy Rebates in Alberta (2026)
Alberta has no province-wide retrofit rebate — its main instrument is CEIP financing: up to $50,000 repaid through property taxes, available in 26+ municipalities (Edmonton is waitlisted; Calgary reopens September 22, 2026). Medicine Hat's HAT Smart adds up to $5,000 in real rebates for its utility customers. Here is what actually exists, verified.

Canada Greener Homes Loan (closed)The federal interest-free loan of $5,000 to $40,000 for major home-energy retrofits is closed to new applicants — NRCan states funding is fully committed and new loan applications cannot be approved. Homeowners with an already-approved loan can continue to access their funding. New applicants should look at the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (low- to median-income) and provincial programs.View program →FederalClosed
Canada Greener Homes Grant (closed)The federal grant of up to $5,000 for home retrofits ($5,600 with the evaluation reimbursement) closed to new applicants in January 2026. Homeowners already in the program can complete their retrofits. New applicants should look at the Affordability Program (low- to median-income) and provincial programs — the Greener Homes Loan has also since closed to new applicants.View program →FederalActive

Clean Energy Improvement Program — CEIP (Alberta)Alberta's main home-energy instrument is financing, not rebates: CEIP lends up to $50,000 (100% of project costs) for solar, heat pumps, insulation and windows, repaid over up to 20 years through your property tax bill — and the balance transfers to the next owner if you sell. Available in 26+ municipalities; status varies (Edmonton is waitlisted; Calgary reopens September 22, 2026).View program →Utility · ABActive
