Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Gilles Arsenault says some adjustments are being made to Net Zero rebate programs. He says they’re looking to prioritize the programs that give them the most bang for their buck in terms of being the most effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and electricity use.
Starting Monday, rebates to assist with the cost of home insulation, windows and doors are increasing 40 per cent. New home construction incentives will be increased and re-aligned to match national building code tiers, so people will get more money back. There will also be an increase in rebates for commercial operations. Those increases mean there will be reductions in other rebates such as heat pumps and solar rebates.
