What is CEIP?

The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP), administered by Alberta Municipalities, makes energy efficiency upgrades more accessible for homeowners—so you can save on energy bills and enjoy a more comfortable, efficient home for you and your family.

CEIP offers flexible financing to help cover the upfront costs of energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades, allowing homeowners to make improvements without the big upfront investment. CEIP offers homeowners:

 Financing

CEIP provides financing for up to 100% of the project costs, while providing competitive interest rates. For our municipality, the fixed interest rate is 4%.

 Payment terms

The program offers flexible repayment terms of up to 25 years, with the option to repay in full anytime—penalty-free.

Repayments are made through your property tax bill, and the financing remains tied to the property tax obligation (i.e., if you decide to sell your property, you can pay off the balance without penalty or leave the remaining balance with the property tax bill).

 Incentives

A limited time $1,100 Incentive is available for completed CEIP projects. The rebate is applied directly to your Clean Energy Improvement Tax, reducing your total financing amount. This incentive will be applied to your tax roll upon completion of your project.

 Participant & property eligibility 

Participants must be the legal owner of an existing low-rise residential property located in our municipality and meet all requirements listed in the Terms & Conditions

How does CEIP work?

Completing a clean energy improvement through CEIP follows these eight steps:

Step 1: Pre-Qualification

Read the CEIP Terms and Conditions. Complete the Pre-Qualification Form at myCEIP.ca. This confirms that you and your property meet the basic program qualification criteria.

Step 2: EnerGuide home evaluation

Once pre-qualified, schedule an EnerGuide home evaluation to learn about your home’s energy performance. This will help you understand your priority options for home improvements.

Step 3: Project application

Choose a Qualified Contractor at myCEIP.ca/directory and plan your project. Then, submit your Project Application to Alberta Municipalities.

Step 4: Agreements

Once approved, you’ll enter into a Clean Energy Improvement Agreement and Project Agreement.

Step 5: Project installation

After signing agreements, work with your Qualified Contractor to complete the improvements.

Step 6: Upgrade completion

Submit your upgrade completion forms as your improvements are completed.

Step 7: Post-project EnerGuide home evaluation

After your project is complete, a post-project EnerGuide evaluation will provide a new rating and label based on your home’s upgrades.

Step 8: Repayment

After your project is complete, a post-project EnerGuide evaluation will provide a new rating and label based on your home’s upgrades.
