Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) to launch October 31, 2023

Westlock, AB – The Town of Westlock is excited to announce the upcoming launch of the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) on October 31, 2023. This program offers low-interest financing to residential property owners to make energy-efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to their homes. Thanks to funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), Westlock residents can take advantage of this program that will help reduce energy costs. Participants conveniently repay the financing through their property taxes, and if they sell their property, the financing can be transferred to the new owners who will enjoy the benefits of the upgrades. Eligible upgrades include insulation, windows, HVAC systems, solar PV systems, water heating and more. Applications are accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.

"We are excited to launch the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) and provide a new funding option to our residents for renovations and upgrades," said Simone Wiley, Chief Administrative Officer, "This program helps residential property owners make energy efficiency upgrades with low upfront costs, ultimately improving their property values. We encourage residents to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to enhance their home's energy efficiency and property value!"

CEIP participants in Weslock also have the opportunity to take advance of the Westlock Water Conservation Incentive and receive a rebate of up to $500 when they install an eligible water-saving appliance (e.g., dishwashers or clothes washing machines) alongside their CEIP upgrades.

CEIP is administered in partnership with Alberta Municipalities. Alberta Municipalities is a not-for-profit association founded in 1905. It represents Alberta’s 265 urban municipalities, including cities, towns, villages, summer villages, and specialized municipalities, as well as Associate and Affiliate members.
