Alberta's Innovative Financing Solution
The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is Alberta's version of PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing. It allows property owners to access competitive, long-term financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades.
How CEIP Works
- Intake Period: Municipalities (like Calgary and Edmonton) open specific enrollment windows.
- Pre-Qualification: Apply to confirm eligibility.
- Project Completion: Work with qualified contractors.
- Repayment: The loan is repaid through your municipal property tax bill.
Calgary & Edmonton Status (2026)
- Calgary: Residential CEIP is reopening in February 2026.
- Edmonton: Residential and Commercial CEIP are currently active and accepting applications.
Strategic Tip: CEIP financing stays with the property. If you move, the new owner continues the repayments and enjoys the energy savings.
