Wood Pellet Boiler and Furnace Incentive Rebates Increased
Wood pellet boilers and furnaces are now eligible for incentive rebates up to 1/3 of their cost up to a maximum of $5,000, $15,000 and $50,000 for individuals, businesses and communities respectively.
Effective immediately, NWT residents, businesses, and communities planning to install wood pellet boilers and furnaces can apply for funding through AETP (Alternative Energy Technology Program). The funding will be consistent with the existing program guidelines; see the AETP guidelines for the details: http://www.enr.gov.nt.ca/_live/pages/wpPages/aetp.aspx.
AEA's EEIP (Energy Efficiency Incentive Program) will no longer provide rebates for wood pellet furnaces or boilers. However, rebates for woodstoves and wood pellet stoves will not be affected. CECEP (Commercial Energy Conservation and Efficiency Program) will not be providing rebates for wood pellet furnaces or boilers since the funding provided for wood pellet furnace and boiler installations under AETP exceeds that previously provided under EEIP and CECEP.

Inuvik Petroleum Show
Arctic Energy Alliance staff attended the Inuvik Petroleum Show last week. They talked with the locals about improving energy efficiency in their homes and caught up on the latest Mackenzie Gas Project news. Home energy evaluations were also done on residential buildings including the new Sustainable Duplex built by the NWT Housing Corporation. There are high hopes for the new super-insulated home, which includes photovoltaic solar panels, a solar hot water, high efficiency boiler, and a heat recovery ventilator.
Ethel Gruben won $250 matching Energy Efficiency Incentive Program rebate, so when she qualifies for a rebate we will give her up to $250 more.
