The province's Go Green Fund will provide an operating grant of $500,000 to SaskEnergy for continued delivery of the Energy Efficient New Homes Rebate Program. The program was developed in 2007 to provide a rebate to homeowners who have built or purchased a newly constructed ENERGY STAR® qualified, R-2000 certified, or an EnerGuide for New Homes rating of 80 or above home.
"Our government is committed to helping Saskatchewan people Go Green," Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. "We are continuing to fund the Energy Efficient New Homes Rebate Program because it encourages homeowners to build new homes to higher energy efficiency standards and reduces energy and water resource use."
Homeowners are eligible for a rebate of $1,000 for building or purchasing a new home that is qualified or certified to these specifications. New homeowners must complete the rebate form in full and mail it, along with the required documents, to SaskEnergy within 12 months of their new home possession date. SaskEnergy administers the program on behalf of Go Green.
In the first four years of this program, 1,325 homeowners received rebates. To-date, approximately 3,675 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been reduced annually as each new energy efficient home reduces approximately three tonnes of GHGs per year, compared to new houses built to the minimum building standard.
