How it works
The City of Lethbridge’s Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) lends homeowners up to the full cost of eligible energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades. Repayments are added to the property tax bill at a fixed 2.83% over up to 25 years, stay with the property if it is sold, and can be paid off early without penalty.
For a limited time, completed projects receive a $1,350 rebate that reduces the amount financed. Only one rebate is available per project.
The City says the program is currently at capacity and has stopped accepting new pre-qualification submissions. Applications already on the waitlist are processed in order as space opens.
Who qualifies
- You are the legal owner of an existing low-rise home in Lethbridge: a single or semi-detached house, row house or townhome, or the residential part of a small multi-unit or mixed-use building (generally under three storeys and 600 m² footprint).
- Property taxes and other City accounts are in good standing with no recent arrears.
- The home isn’t in foreclosure, bankruptcy or receivership, and property-secured debts are current.
- Some mortgages need lender consent, and your home insurance must meet the program’s requirements.
How applications worked
Step 1: New pre-qualification submissions are closed. Submissions already on the waitlist are processed in order as space opens.
Step 2: Watch the City’s CEIP page for a notice if the program reopens.
Step 3: When open: complete the pre-qualification form, get an EnerGuide evaluation, then submit a project application with a CEIP-qualified contractor.
Step 4: Sign the program agreements before any work starts, install the upgrades, and repay through your property tax bill.
