About the New Home Construction Incentives
Are you building a new home in PEI? You could be eligible for rebates if your design meets certain energy efficiency requirements. By building with a focus on energy efficiency, you can create a home that’s comfortable in all seasons, costs less to heat and has a reduced impact on the environment.
Clean Foundation is partnering with efficiencyPEI to offer the New Home Construction Program for $99, which includes an evaluation of your plans and follow-up assessment by a certified energy advisor.

There are two tiers of rebates available for participants in the New Home Construction Program:

- For R2000 or EnerGuide rating of 50 per cent better than code, you’ll receive a rebate of $5,000.
