Might be a good thing for those with older homes to look into. Looks like there is up to $5600 available per house to perform before and after energy audits, and make upgrades based on the recommendations of the audit. It appears upgraded air sealing, upgrading insulation, switching heating and hot water to heat pumps, and solar PV installations are all covered within the grant, as well as other upgrades to limit flooding and water damage. It also appears there will be interest free loans of up to $40k to help pay for the upfront costs of these upgrades, however details haven't been released on this yet.
The bad thing I can see is the push toward to heat pump heating, probably works good in Vancouver, not sure there is a unit that works in -40 though, not to mention the associated power bills from running those units.
