Alberta’s support for households in energy poverty: the Home Upgrades Program

Alberta is currently the only Province without a program to support households who cannot afford to adequately heat or cool their homes. In 2022, Empower Me, alongside our friends and partner Alberta Ecotrust Foundation, will relaunch the Home Upgrades Program in Calgary and Edmonton.

The Home Upgrades Program helps renters and homeowners reduce their energy consumption by installing energy savings measures, and providing energy education and mentorship free of charge. The program provides different levels of support, products, and installations depending on the home, and each households difficulty to pay energy bills. All participants receive a free energy savings kit (valued at $90) that includes essential items to improve their home’s energy efficiency. Some participants receive more in-depth upgrades related to heating, lighting, or insulation if their energy consumption was high and proved difficult for them to pay their bills.

If you are currently struggling to adequately heat or cool your home or pay your energy bills please email us and we will contact you when the program launches in Fall 2022. Our program is open to both renters and owners.

1,700+ Albertans reached out to Empower Me for help across 140 different postal codes.

Canada's Leading Experts

At Empower Me, we understand that not every household is the same. In partnership with Energy Efficiency Alberta, our Home Upgrades Program was the first of its kind in Alberta to help households struggling with their energy bills. The Home Upgrades Program was designed to develop an understanding of the energy issues inside Albertan homes with the goal of expanding by collaborating any governmental department.

Since the early 1990’s, Empower Me’s leadership team has had extensive experience delivering no cost energy efficiency programs to more than 40,000 families in the United Kingdom and Canada. Our team was selected as the delivery agent for BC Hydro’s Energy Conservation Assistance Program, co-designing and delivering the program to over 4,000 families.

Community Connections. Healthier Homes.
