Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate

The Commercial Space and Water Heating Rebate encourages the use of high-efficiency equipment to maximize energy cost savings while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SaskEnergy, in collaboration with SaskPower, is offering rebates based on the type, efficiency, number of units and size of the equipment installed in commercial buildings.

Program Details:

  • Equipment must be installed by a participating SaskEnergy Network Member or a Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) Licensed Contractor
  • Only eligible equipment qualifies
  • Must be a SaskEnergy Commercial Customer
  • Property is located in Saskatchewan
  • Examples of eligible buildings: retail stores, apartment complexes, strip malls, dental clinics, restaurants, municipal buildings, community halls, buildings owned or operated by non-profit organizations, barns, mechanical shops, non-residential farm buildings 
  • Read more about the Program Terms and Conditions

Rebate issued

Once we receive your application with the required documentation, a rebate cheque or SaskEnergy bill credit (whichever method of payment you selected) will be issued within 6-8 weeks.

    Due to a potential Canada Post labour disruption, you may experience a delay in receiving your rebate cheque.

To inquire about a high-efficient equipment model that is not listed in the eligible equipment list, please send an email with the following information: type of equipment, manufacturer make and model number and product specification sheet (if possible). Once we receive your email a Program Representative will get back to you as soon as possible.
