2025 Residential Solar Installation Grant Program

Joint Economic Development Initiatives (JEDI), on behalf of the County of Wetaskiwin, is pleased to launch the 2025 Residential Solar Installation Grant Program to help residents lower electricity costs through sustainable energy.

Funded by a generous $65,000 anonymous donation, the program offers grants of up to $6,500 for homeowners installing new solar PV systems of at least 5kW.

Applications will be accepted from Earth Day, April 22, until May 8 at 4:30 p.m., by email or in person. All complete applications—including a quote for a new 5kW+ system—will be reviewed following the May 8 deadline. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants with complete submissions. Existing systems or expansions are not eligible, and incomplete applications will not be considered.

Requirements include obtaining development and building permits and passing a final inspection by Superior Safety Codes. Approved projects must be completed within eight months.

For more details on eligibility see the application form or visit JEDI’s office located in the County of Wetaskiwin Administration Building.
