What this program funds and who can apply
Program Description
Rebates for Yukon businesses, non-profits, municipalities, First Nations governments, and multi-unit residential building owners investing in energy-efficiency upgrades to commercial and institutional buildings. Two pathways: a self-serve online stream for pre-approved measures (heat pumps, ENERGY STAR appliances/windows, biomass heating, HRVs, insulation, solar hot water) up to $10,000, and the Low Carbon Buildings Program stream for larger retrofits — 25%–60% of eligible costs depending on applicant type, verified by a professional energy model showing at least a 20% carbon emissions reduction. The commercial stream paused in May 2023 after funding 209 projects and relaunched in March 2025 with a renewed $21.8M joint federal-territorial funding agreement (2025–2029). This record covers the business/commercial stream only — Good Energy also has a separate residential rebate stream not captured here.

Insider tips, common pitfalls, and what successful applicants look like
Insider TipContact the Energy Branch ([email protected], 867-393-7063) before starting a large commercial project — staff help applicants prepare the required energy model and proposal, and the program has paused before once its funding pool ran out (May 2023–March 2025), so applying earlier in the current 2025–2029 funding cycle improves your odds.
Rejection Pitfalls 5
