What is the Okotoks Clean Energy Improvement Program?
Launched in January 2024, the Okotoks CEIP is a financing program administered by Alberta Municipalities that allows residential property owners in the Town of Okotoks to finance solar panels and other energy upgrades at a competitive fixed interest rate of 3%, with repayment collected through the property tax bill over up to 20 years.
The program has proven so popular that it is currently at capacity. If you are an Okotoks homeowner interested in solar, joining the waitlist now is the right move — spots open up as existing participants complete their projects, and waitlist positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why Join the Waitlist Now?
While the Okotoks CEIP is at capacity, there are still strong reasons to act now rather than wait:
Waitlist spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis — the sooner you apply, the sooner you move up.
Alberta's residential solar rebate ($450/kW, up to $9,000) is available regardless of CEIP status and can be combined once CEIP opens.
Solar panel prices continue to decline, but electricity rates in Alberta are rising — every month without solar is a month of higher bills.
Getting your free energy assessment now means you will know exactly what system you need and what it will cost before your CEIP spot opens.
