In what it hopes will be more good news for Manitobans’ wallets, the provincial government announced today they were launching the Affordable Home Energy Program, making it easier for homeowners to upgrade to energy-efficient heat pumps and start saving on their energy bills.
According to a release from Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes, the program is designed to both lower costs and lower emissions. Moyes said Manitobans who heat their homes with electricity could lower their energy bills by up to 30 per cent, approximately $1,000, in the first year.
“This is a big step toward a greener, more sustainable province that is building a low-carbon future by harnessing renewable energy, while making life more affordable for Manitoba families,” said Moyes.
