How it works
Calgary's residential CEIP lets homeowners finance up to 100% of eligible energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades, to a maximum of $50,000, and repay over up to 20 years on their property tax bill. Early repayment is allowed without penalty.
The City estimates the interest rate for the next intake at about 6.00% to 6.10%; the exact range is posted about a week before applications open and the rate is fixed for your loan. It is a loan, not a rebate: all borrowed money is repaid.
The City's page says residential CEIP is closed until winter 2026/2027. Residents can sign up for email notice of the reopening.
