Alberta Energy Rebates 2026: What's Really Available

Every amount links to the official program. Last checked September 29, 2026.

By Sam Menard

Short answer: Alberta has few home energy rebates in 2026. We found no current ENMAX, ATCO, EPCOR or FortisAlberta heat pump or solar rebate on any official site. What exists: Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) financing repaid on your property tax (Calgary's intake reopens winter 2026/27), a $50 smart thermostat rebate in Red Deer, EPCOR's Peak Rewards pilot, and free upgrades for income-qualified Calgarians.

How to apply

  1. Check whether your town offers CEIP and when intake opens.
  2. If a quote mentions a 'utility rebate', ask the installer for the official program link before you count on it.
  3. In Red Deer, keep your thermostat receipt and apply in the same calendar year.

Not that we could find. As of our last check, no official ENMAX, ATCO, EPCOR or FortisAlberta page offers a heat pump or solar rebate. Ask for the program link if a quote lists one.

Is there a smart thermostat rebate in Alberta?

Only locally: Red Deer pays $50, and EPCOR's Peak Rewards pilot pays $50 plus $25 a season in select Edmonton neighbourhoods.

No. The last day for Alberta residents to apply was July 31, 2026.
