Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate

The Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate encourages the use of high-efficiency equipment to maximize energy cost savings while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SaskEnergy, in collaboration with SaskPower, is offering rebates based on the type, efficiency, number of units and size of the equipment installed in commercial buildings.

Program Details:

  • Equipment must be installed by a participating SaskEnergy Network Member or a Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) Licensed Contractor
  • Only eligible equipment qualifies
  • Must be a SaskEnergy Commercial Customer
  • Property is located in Saskatchewan
  • Examples of eligible buildings: retail stores, apartment complexes, strip malls, dental clinics, restaurants, municipal buildings, community halls, buildings owned or operated by non-profit organizations, barns, mechanical shops, non-residential farm buildings 
  • Read more about the Program Terms and Conditions
