How it works
The City of St. Albert’s Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) finances up to the full cost of eligible energy upgrades, repaid on the property tax bill. The City lists its rate as 1.62%, variable but never above 3%, and the term is the lesser of 20 years or the useful life of the upgrades. Projects must cost at least $3,000.
Completed projects receive a $1,400 incentive applied to the Clean Energy Improvement Tax, which lowers the amount financed. Incentives are limited, first come, first served, and one per project.
The program reached capacity and closed pre-qualification submissions on October 1, 2026. Submissions already on the waitlist are processed as space becomes available.
