When combined with federal contributions, the funding will help about 13,500 low-income households and about 30,000 middle-income households.
“With this provincial investment and millions more that it will leverage from our federal partners, we’re helping Nova Scotians save money and be a part of the solution to fight climate change.” “We know too many Nova Scotians are struggling to pay their oil bills and need more help to install heat pumps and make other energy efficiency upgrades,” said Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables. The funding will help all Nova Scotians move away from oil heat faster, with extra support for low- and middle-income households.
Low-income Nova Scotians will get free heat pumps and other home upgrades thanks to a $140-million provincial investment in energy efficiency programs over four years.
