Net Zero programs are changing
Rebate programs in PEI are being updated to prioritize actions that most effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and electricity use.
Starting June 2, rebates to assist with the cost of home insulation, windows and doors are increasing 40 per cent. New home construction incentives will be increased and re-aligned to match national building code tiers, so people will get more money back. There will also be an increase in rebates for commercial operations.
There are changes to solar rebates and electric vehicle rebates too. For a list of changes, visit Adjustments to Net Zero and efficiencyPEI rebates or check out any of the rebate web pages below for the latest information.

Get involved and have your say!
The Net Zero Action Plan will bring together a group of 15 individuals residing in PEI to share their experiences, attitudes and reactions about actions to reduce greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Participants will learn about opportunities for new initiatives and provide fresh insight on priorities and solutions for implementation rooted in real-life perspectives. The Community Panel will be a valuable sounding board and source of forthright feedback. Topics will focus on affordability and quality of life, and how to shape climate actions that will help solve community challenges and bring practical benefits to residents. The Community Panel will meet 3 times.
There is no special expertise or knowledge required to participate. The Community Panel will be composed of people with different backgrounds and life experiences who want the best for their communities. The main requirements are a commitment to attend the 3 meetings, review materials in advance of meetings (approx. 2 hours), give thoughtful consideration to the information and questions and share perspectives honestly. Participants should also be at least 16 years of age.
Interested individuals can apply to join the Community Panel at https://form.typeform.com/to/Fb4NsSo2. The deadline has been extended to June 15.
