Current Programs and Initiatives

Greener Neighbourhoods Pilot Program (GNPP)
The GNPP will pilot the Energiesprong model in Canada through initiatives supporting regional Market Development Teams (MDTs) in their work to accelerate the market for aggregated deep energy retrofits, and by supporting deep energy retrofit demonstration projects in community housing buildings in Canadian communities.

Canada Greener Homes Initiative
Energy efficiency starts at home. Our Greener Homes Initiative helps homeowners undertake energy efficiency retrofits to make their homes more efficient, comfortable, and affordable to maintain. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program provides grants, and the Canada Greener Homes Loan provides interest-free loans to help homeowners with the costs of eligible retrofits. Implementing energy efficient retrofits in homes and residential buildings allows homeowners to save on energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
