Residential Rebates

• Since November 2019, the SaskPower net metering program has had no generation cap, end date, or specified contract length.
• The program allows for projects up to 100kW-DC generating capacity.
• The SaskPower net metering program is available to all customers with eligible power generation systems, such as solar, including residential, farms, businesses, and other institutions.
• For more information or to apply for SaskPower’s net metering program, visit the SaskPower website.

If you live in Saskatoon, you may be eligible for one of three available programs:

• Net Metering Program
• Allows eligible customers to generate renewable electricity (up to 100 kW) and send excess back to the grid for future credit.
• Small Power Producers Program
• Allows eligible customers to generate renewable electricity (up to 100 kW) and sell the excess to the SL&P power grid at a fixed rate.
• Behind-the-Meter Program
• Allows eligible customers to generate renewable electricity above 100 kW for their own use only.

• This program is a partnership between the Nunavut Housing Corporation (NHC) and the Climate Change Secretariat (CCS). It provides eligible homeowners with a non-repayable grant of up to $30,000 or 50% of the project (whichever is less) for the installation of renewable energy systems, including solar.
• The grant may be claimed after the project has been approved and completed.
• Applicants must have QEC net metering approval before submitting an application.

• This program is funded by the Department of Environment’s Climate Change Secretariat (CCS). It offers eligible cabin owners a one-time, non-repayable grant of $5,000 to offset the cost of installing renewable energy systems, including solar.
• The project must be completed within 12 months of approval.
• For more information or to apply for this grant, visit the Nunavut Climate Change Secretariat website.

• This program provides a forgivable loan of up to $15,000 for home renovations including but not limited to solar panel installation.
• To be eligible your home must be at least 5 years old.

Nunavut home owners can take advantage of QEC’s residential net metering program to tie into the grid. This means if you’re producing more power then you’re using (typical in summer) you can feed power back to the grid and build up credits. These credits can then be used at a later point in time when you’re using more power than you’re producing (typical in winter).

The Government of Nunavut has announced plans for a rebate program to subsidize the cost of solar for both homes and cabins.

CIPP allows existing commercial and institutional customers to generate power from renewable energy systems, including solar, and sell it back to QEC. Customers can choose to interconnect at either the same point that’s currently used to power their facility or a different location. For more information, visit the QEC CIPP page.

This program allows eligible power producers outside the utility to generate electrical power via alternative energy systems, including solar, and sell it directly to QEC. For more information, visit the QEC IPP page.
