Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Minister of Natural Resource Seamus O’Regan launched the Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG), which will provide Canadian homeowners with up to $5,000 to help make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes, and up to $600 towards the cost of home evaluations. Whether homeowners are replacing windows and doors, improving insulation to keep their homes warm, or installing solar panels, the CGHG will lower Canadians’ energy bills and make their homes more comfortable and affordable.
This program will also create more than 110,000 direct and indirect jobs across Canada over the next 7 years, in addition to the recruitment of 2,000 energy advisors that is currently underway to meet the increased demand for home evaluations.
The CGHG helps homeowners get energy-efficient retrofits. More retrofits mean more jobs, more money for Canadians through lower energy bills and more progress towards a net-zero future. It is all part of our plan to work for a better, cleaner Canada.
