Project Consultations
The Home Energy Efficiency Program has sought input from numerous community and municipal stakeholders to offer expert insight into its development. Incorporating critical stakeholder feedback into the HEEP will help avoid potential barriers to implementation.
The following consultations have occurred to date:
- December 10, 2021: Goal setting workshop with City staff
- January 19, 2022: Update to City’s Chief Administrative Officer and Commissioners
- January 19, 2022: Update to Peterborough Environmental Advisory Committee
- February 2, 2022: Kick-off meeting with program partner working group
The Home Energy Efficiency Program has been rebranded as the Better Homes Peterborough program.
It publicly launched on April 22, 2025, and provides financial support for homeowners interested in carrying out energy efficiency upgrades to their homes.
Financing is being provided to applicants by the City of Peterborough through secured loans of up to $50,000 at 4.5% interest to be repaid via property tax bills over 15 years. Incentives are currently available for eligible applicants to access additional financial support to lower the overall loan costs. All low-rise (less than three storeys) residential detached, semi-detached, townhouses, and rowhouses in the city of Peterborough are permitted to join the program. Rental properties are also eligible to participate.
