The Northwest Territories home energy rebates
10 home energy programs are open in the Northwest Territories right now, and 1 more is announced: 5 run by the territory, and 6 federal. No territory-wide program in the Northwest Territories pays for heat pumps right now. The federal National Heat Pump Rebate will pay $2,000, or up to $10,000 for households below the median income, once it opens (no launch date yet).
In the Northwest Territories, most home energy rebates run through the Arctic Energy Alliance, with federal programs layered on top. Heating costs are high and building seasons are short, so check eligibility and pre-approval rules early.
