Value

Varies.

Description

The Alberta Municipal Solar Program has been very successful since its launch in 2016, and all available funding is currently fully allocated. Effective immediately, new applications are no longer being accepted. Applications with signed funding agreements will continue to be processed and will receive payments upon project completion.

Eligible Applicants

The following are eligible to participate in the AMSP:

  • Municipalities: designated Municipalities within the province of Alberta are eligible to participate in the AMSP. As per Section 1(s) of the Municipal Government Act a “Municipality” is defined as:
    • a city, town, village, summer village, municipal district or specialized Municipality;
    • repealed 1995 c24 s2;
    • iii. a town under the Parks Towns Act;
    • or a Municipality formed by a special Act; or, if the context requires, the geographical area within the boundaries of a Municipality described in sub-clauses (i) to (iii).
  • Community-related organizations: non-profit community-related organizations (CROs) are eligible to participate in the AMSP if the Project is located on a municipally owned facility or on municipally owned land. While CROs are eligible to participate, the Municipality1 must be the signatory to the funding agreement and all reimbursements made under the program will be directed to the municipality. Such instances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Eligible Expenses

The following expenses will be included in calculating the maximum rebate:

  • Expenses for the purchase of the solar PV equipment for the Project (i.e. solar PV modules, racking, inverters, transformer (if any), main distribution panel (if necessary), cabling, conduit, fittings, disconnects and monitoring interface);
  • Expenses for fencing or any other protective infrastructure for the Project if required by the current applicable version of the Canadian Electrical Code;
  • Expenses for the design, development, energy modelling, engineering (structural, electrical, civil, geotechnical), specification, procurement, and construction of the Project;
  • Expenses for obtaining the required electrical permit and grid-connected approvals, and any required building and development permits; and
  • Expenses for completing the required electrical inspection and building inspection for the Project

Deadline Date
