Though short on details until a news release expected in the coming weeks, Ontario’s Ministry of Energy will be investing $100 million to create jobs and help homeowners save energy.
It’s unclear whether this program is an extension and expansion of existing low-income programs offered in partnership with Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas. The program is expected to help about 37,000 homeowners conduct energy audits to identify energy-saving opportunities and then complete retrofits, such as replacing furnaces, water heaters and upgrading insulation.
Full program details, including program start date, eligible project details and amounts, will be available in the coming months.
