Energy Rebate Program Application Deadline is December
31
Don’t miss this opportunity to earn rebates on outfitting energy
savings devices to your fleet!
Alberta truckers have until the end of 2011 to apply for energy
efficiency rebates – saving fuel and helping the environment. In
the past year, the program has resulted in an estimated 5.6
million litres of fuel saved.
Fleet owners and operators are still eligible for rebates of up
to $60,000 each before Trucks of Tomorrow, the Government of
Alberta’s commercial vehicle incentive program, comes to its
prescribed end.
So far, trucking rebates totalling more than $600,000 have been
distributed to Alberta-based commercial vehicle owner-operators
and fleet managers who installed fuel efficiency and aerodynamic
equipment on heavy-duty vehicles. The total represents an
estimated 15,300 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions avoided.
After a successful run, Light it Right, the provincial
commercial lighting incentive program also comes to an end on
December 31.
This fully-subscribed program enabled 24 companies to undertake
pre-retrofit lighting assessments and replace old, inefficient
lighting systems with energy efficient bulbs and ballasts.
Eligible applicants – such as restaurants, multi-unit
residential buildings, warehouses and recreational facilities –
have received rebates totalling more than $400,000. As a result,
approximately 5,700 tonnes of annual greenhouse gas emissions
have been avoided.
Since launching in summer 2010, these programs have resulted in
the avoidance of more than 20,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas
emissions. This is the equivalent of removing approximately
3,500 cars from the road annually.
For more information or to apply for a trucking rebate,
Albertans can contact the program administrator, C3 (formerly
Climate Change Central), online at

or by phone at
