SaskPower launches new rebate for customers using electric heat
SaskPower has launched a new program called the Indigenous New Homes Rebate, which offers financial support to eligible communities to help make new home builds more energy efficient during the construction phase.
A media release from the Crown corporation states many customers in northern communities rely on electric heat for their homes that can cause high power bills. Homes constructed with the Indigenous New Homes Rebate could save up to $3,000 annually on their power and energy bills.
“We understand that affordability is a priority for many families across the province, and this rebate will help make new homes in Indigenous communities more energy efficient, helping customers living in these new homes and lower their power bills,” said Rhea Brown, the Executive Vice President of Customer Experience and Procurement at SaskPower.
“Making homes energy efficient during construction is more effective than retrofitting a home later. By targeting this rebate at the construction phase, we expect to see improved energy efficiency and lower power bills over time.”
