Rural Electric Grant Program │Alberta Federation of REAs (AFREA)

The following general criteria will be used to determine eligible costs:

• Grants will be based on the most practical and economical route, to install up to and including a standard 25 kVA transformer for an overhead service and up to and including a 50 kVA transformer on an underground service,
•  Irrigation, grain dryer and three phase services may include the additional transformer capacity in calculating the grant,
•  In situations where a service must be constructed in a more expensive manner as a result of federal, provincial or municipal regulation or law, the additional cost may be eligible for a grant (up to the maximum grant amount),
• One transformer equals one service equals one grant.

There is no limit on the amount or number of grants that an eligible producer may receive. The maximum grant per service is $5,250.
