The City of Thunder Bay continuously assesses opportunities and barriers for improving home energy efficiency. Reducing our household emissions through energy efficiency retrofits is an important step on the City’s path to net-zero.

A Feasibility Study was presented to City Council on July 18, 2022. The following are the Phase 1: Home Energy Improvement Feasibility Study documents:

With Council’s approval, we are undergoing Phase 2: the Home Energy Improvement Loan Program Design Study.

Share your thoughts on the proposed home energy improvement loan program by filling out the survey.

About the Project

The City of Thunder Bay approved the Thunder Bay Net-Zero Strategy on June 7, 2021 and set a community-wide target for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.

The energy we use to heat, cool, and power our homes represents 18% of Thunder Bay’s annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions like carbon dioxide and methane contribute to the climate crisis, and reducing household emissions is an important step on the City’s path to net-zero.

Developing a Home Energy Improvement Loan Program will help homeowners make energy efficiency improvements to their homes such as adding insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, and installing solar panels by offering a mix of financing, technical guidance, and other support services.

EarthCare Thunder Bay is currently working with Dunsky Energy and Climate to design a Home Energy Improvement Loan Program for Thunder Bay residents. Completing this survey will help them assess the opportunities and barriers that exist for improving home energy efficiency in Thunder Bay.

Background

In 2023, the City of Thunder Bay received funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund to conduct a Home Energy Improvement Loan Program Design Study.

In 2022, a completed Home Energy Improvement Feasibility Study was presented to Thunder Bay City Council.

In 2021, the City of Thunder Bay received funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund to conduct a feasibility study on implementing home energy efficiency retrofit financing programs in the community.

    Rajoo asked over 2 years ago

    Hello Rajoo, 

    Thank you for your inquiry! 

    We are currently in the process of designing this program. If all goes to plan, we will finish our work with Dunsky (the consultants) in September 2025, and have the program available in Winter 2026. We cannot speak to who will be eligible for the program yet, as we have not concluded program design.
