Exciting News: Clean Energy Improvement Program Coming Soon to Beaumont, Alberta!
We are thrilled to announce that the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is launching soon in Beaumont, Alberta (2025)! This program offers an incredible opportunity for homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes with minimal upfront costs, helping to lower utility bills, increase property values, and contribute to a greener community.
But what exactly is the CEIP, and why should Beaumont homeowners be excited? Let’s explore the program’s benefits and look at its success in other areas across Alberta.
What is the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)?
The CEIP is a unique initiative designed to make energy-efficient home improvements more accessible and affordable for homeowners. Through this program, you can finance energy efficiency upgrades such as installing solar panels, upgrading windows, improving insulation, or replacing old heating and cooling systems. The key benefit? The costs are financed through your property tax bill over time, meaning there’s no need to worry about hefty upfront payments.
This innovative program works through Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, where the improvements are attached to the property, not the individual. If you ever sell your home, the new homeowner can simply takes over the payments. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Why Beaumont?
As a fast-growing community with a strong commitment to sustainability, Beaumont is the perfect place for the CEIP. With energy costs continuing to rise, homeowners in Beaumont are looking for ways to reduce their energy usage and carbon footprint. The CEIP offers a hassle-free pathway to achieve this, allowing homeowners to improve the comfort and efficiency of their homes while making a positive impact on the environment.
The CEIP’s Track Record of Success
The CEIP is not new to Alberta—it has already seen great success in several municipalities across the province. Here are a few highlights from other regions:
1. Edmonton
Edmonton was one of the first municipalities in Alberta to implement the CEIP. Launched in 2021, the program has since gained significant traction, with hundreds of homeowners participating. The success stories are inspiring: from solar panel installations to whole-home energy retrofits, Edmonton residents have seen remarkable reductions in their utility bills, sometimes saving as much as 20-30% annually. The program has also helped boost Edmonton’s local green economy, creating jobs for contractors and renewable energy professionals.
2. Rocky View County
In Rocky View County, the CEIP was introduced in 2022, and the results have been equally impressive. Many homeowners have utilized the program to make their homes more energy-efficient while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A homeowner in Cochrane, for example, completed a comprehensive energy retrofit, including high-efficiency windows, insulation, and a solar energy system. The project not only reduced their energy consumption by nearly 40%, but it also increased the property’s value and reduced their environmental impact.
3. Lethbridge
Since its launch in Lethbridge, the CEIP has proven to be a game-changer for homeowners looking to adopt renewable energy technologies. Lethbridge homeowners who invested in solar panels through the program have reported that the systems are paying for themselves in energy savings over just a few years. Moreover, the city’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint has aligned perfectly with the goals of the CEIP, with Lethbridge setting ambitious targets for renewable energy adoption.
4. Leduc
Leduc, a neighboring community to Beaumont, has been another shining example of the CEIP’s success. Since its launch in Leduc in 2022, numerous homeowners have embraced the program to make impactful energy upgrades. One notable example is a local homeowner who installed solar panels and upgraded their home’s insulation. Within just a year, they reported a significant drop in energy bills and a noticeable improvement in indoor comfort. Leduc’s commitment to sustainability has made the CEIP an attractive option for homeowners, and the program has not only helped reduce energy consumption but also supported the local economy by engaging local contractors and energy advisors. This success in Leduc demonstrates that Beaumont residents can look forward to similar opportunities and outcomes.
How to Get Involved
As Beaumont prepares to roll out the CEIP, now is the perfect time for homeowners to start thinking about the kinds of energy upgrades they might want to pursue. The program will cover a wide range of improvements, from renewable energy systems to home insulation, HVAC upgrades, and more.
Here’s a quick overview of how the program works:
- Eligibility: The CEIP will be open to all residential property owners in Beaumont. More details will be available soon on eligibility criteria and participating contractors.
- Application Process: Homeowners will be able to apply through a simple online portal. Once approved, you’ll work with a qualified Registered Energy Advisor to assess your home and determine which upgrades make the most sense.
- Repayment: The cost of your improvements will be added to your property tax bill and repaid over time—usually over 10 to 20 years. The upgrades will be designed to save more in energy costs than you pay in monthly financing, ensuring positive cash flow from the start.
- Support and Guidance: The CEIP provides homeowners with access to trained energy advisors who will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you get the most out of your energy improvements.
Why Homeowners Should Be Excited
- Minimal upfront costs: No need to worry about the high upfront price of energy-efficient upgrades.

- Increased home value: Energy-efficient homes are in high demand, and CEIP participants often see increased property values.
- Environmental impact: By reducing energy consumption, you’ll be doing your part to help combat climate change.
