Toronto Renovation Stories & Expert Advice

Federal and Provincial Renewable Energy Grants and Rebates

With gas at $1.20/litre, I have become very conscious of how much I drive, and in this incredibly great weather, it's been easy to leave the car at home to do some of my errands. The price of gas and diesel have increased so rapidly in the last few months that it can be difficult for us to adapt to them. Rising prices affect the cost of the food as well as heating and cooling our homes. If gas prices continue to rise -- and they're supposed to -- certain kinds of renewable energy sources will become more cost effective than they are now.


The federal and provincial government offer grants and rebates of varying degrees for your alternative energy equipment. At the municipal level, the city is supporting a Solar Thermal Project in South Riverdale scheduled for next month called the Toronto Solar Neighbourhood Initiative.

If you're looking for a supplier and installer of solar panels, wind turbines or geo-thermal equipment, the Green Living Show runs from April 25-27th at Exhibition Place.
