Home Energy Rebates in Newfoundland & Labrador (2026)
NL's big money is the Oil to Electric Incentive Program — up to $22,000 for income-qualified oil-heated homes (the federal OHPA component stopped taking applications July 31, 2026). takeCHARGE adds insulation rebates up to $3,000, and the low-income HESP grant relaunches in Fall 2026 with doubled amounts. Here is every program, 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) is closed. December 31, 2025 was the last day for participants to submit their documents — remaining files are being finalized by NRCan.
