written by

Federal Team

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau along with Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O’Regan announced the launch of the Canada Greener Homes Grant program, which provides grants of up to $5,000 for green home retrofits and free EnerGuide energy assessments to homeowners. The program, first outlined in the 2020 Fall Economic Statement, commits to spending $2.6 billion over 7 years.

Greener Homes Program:

Homeowners must first complete home retrofits and then seek reimbursement. Qualified improvement projects will be eligible for:

Up to $5,000 total for the implementation of eligible retrofits done after December 1, 2020.
Up to an additional $600 for the cost of their pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluations. Homeowners will not be reimbursed for the pre-retrofit evaluation unless they continue through the full Greener Homes Grant process.

Note: EnerGuide evaluations completed prior to December 1, 2020, are not eligible for reimbursement.

The program is expected to generate significant economic activity in the residential retrofit sector while moving Canada to a cleaner, more efficient energy system.

Canada’s Nuclear Renaissance, Continued

Canada unveiled its first-ever sectorwide Nuclear Energy Strategy, setting concrete build-out targets: up to 10 new domestic reactors by 2040, four new export markets by 2040, across a four-pillar plan covering domestic builds, exports, fuel/waste management, and fission/fusion innovation. The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.

Not all nuclear is created equal

Traditional large-scale nuclear plants have long demonstrated that it is possible to produce dependable electricity at scale without direct greenhouse gas emissions. They provide steady, around-the-clock power that supports modern economies while helping jurisdictions meet climate goals.
