Short answer: Alberta has few home energy rebates in 2026. We found no current ENMAX, ATCO, EPCOR or FortisAlberta heat pump or solar rebate on any official site. What exists: Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) financing repaid on your property tax (Calgary's intake reopens winter 2026/27), a $50 smart thermostat rebate in Red Deer, EPCOR's Peak Rewards pilot, and free upgrades for income-qualified Calgarians.

Not that we could find. As of our last check, no official ENMAX, ATCO, EPCOR or FortisAlberta page offers a heat pump or solar rebate. Ask for the program link if a quote lists one.

Only locally: Red Deer pays $50, and EPCOR's Peak Rewards pilot pays $50 plus $25 a season in select Edmonton neighbourhoods.

Can I still get the Oil to Heat Pump grant in Alberta?

No. The last day for Alberta residents to apply was July 31, 2026.
