Clean Energy Improvement (CEIP)
What Is CEIP?
The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is a financing tool designed to help homeowners and businesses in Alberta, Canada make energy-efficient upgrades to their properties.
It offers a convenient way to fund improvements such as insulation, windows, heating systems, and renewable energy installations.
By providing access to competitive interest rates and extended repayment terms, CEIP makes it more affordable to invest in energy-saving measures. This program not only benefits individual property owners by reducing energy costs and increasing property values but also contributes to a more sustainable future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Essentially, CEIP acts as a financial bridge, enabling property owners to reap the rewards of energy efficiency while spreading the cost over time.
Finance up to 100% of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects on commercial property.

Frequently asked questions
Is the CEIP project financing tied to me or my property?
Unlike other financial instruments, projects financed through CEIP are tied to the property, not the property owner. Once an energy efficiency or renewable energy upgrade is installed and verified, it is added to the property tax bill for repayment. If the property owner decides to sell the property, the CEIP project financing stays with the property, and the new owner assumes payment and enjoys the benefits associated with the upgrade. Also, as the CEIP project financing can be paid off at any time, property owners can pay off the financing before selling their property.
How is CEIP financing repaid?
Once the CEIP project is complete, CEIP project financing is added to the participant’s property tax bill—similar to a local improvement charge. This tax will remain on the property for the financing term. Property owners continue to pay their property tax bills the same way they always have.
Are incidental costs associated with project upgrades eligible for CEIP financing?
Under the legislation, incidental costs are costs expended on preparation or upgrading of the property that is incidental to the clean energy improvement but required for successful execution. For example, roof repairs required for the installation of a rooftop solar project could be considered a financeable incidental cost.
These costs are eligible for financing under CEIP, up to 15 per cent of the total capital cost of the upgrade. Any excess incidental costs above this limit must be paid by the participating property owner out-of-pocket.
