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.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Yukon-based for-profit businesses (owners or tenants of commercial/institutional buildings)
  • Non-profit and non-governmental organizations
  • First Nations governments and development corporations
  • Municipal governments and territorial Crown corporations
  • Owners of multi-unit residential buildings (600+ sq. metres with shared common access areas)
  • Small projects: pre-approved measures applied for online (heat pumps, ENERGY STAR appliances/windows, biomass heating, HRV, insulation/air sealing, solar hot water)
  • Large projects: energy model from a professional engineer or certified technician demonstrating a 20%+ reduction in carbon emissions

Insider tips, common pitfalls, and what successful applicants look like

Premium
Insider Tip

Contact 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about Good Energy Yukon — Commercial & Instituti...

Free
Does Good Energy Yukon offer rebates for businesses, not just homeowners?
Yes. The Good Energy program's commercial and institutional stream covers for-profit businesses, non-profits, municipalities, First Nations governments, Crown corporations, and qualifying multi-unit building owners — separate from its residential/homeowner stream.
How much can a business get back?
Small pre-approved upgrades (heat pumps, ENERGY STAR appliances/windows, biomass heating, HRV, insulation, solar hot water) can receive up to $10,000. Larger projects verified by an engineer's energy model can receive 25% of costs (40% for biomass/heat pumps cutting emissions 50%+), rising to 50% for non-profits and 60% for First Nations, municipal, or Crown applicants.
Is the business rebate stream currently open?
As of this record's last verification, yes — the program relaunched in March 2025 with $21.8 million in renewed federal-territorial funding (2025–2029) after pausing in May 2023 once its prior funding pool was fully allocated. Because it has paused before, confirm current intake status with the Energy Branch ([email protected]) before starting a large project.
Do I need an engineer to apply?
Only for larger projects. Pre-approved small measures (heat pumps, ENERGY STAR equipment, insulation, etc.) are applied for directly online through MyEnergyXpert with no engineer required. Larger, custom retrofits need a professional engineer or certified technician to model and confirm a 20%+ carbon emissions reduction.
