Business Energy Rebates program fully restructured with new financing option and three application pathways
The Business Energy Rebates program now offers interest-free financing for up to 24 months and three distinct application pathways: Before You Buy, Instant Rebates, and After You Buy.
The Business Energy Rebates program has been significantly enhanced with a new interest-free financing option for up to 24 months in addition to existing rebates. The application process has been completely restructured into three clear pathways: Before You Buy (mail-in with pre-approval), Instant Rebates (at participating distributors), and After You Buy (mail-in within 90 days of purchase). Eligibility criteria are now clearly outlined, specifying that facilities must be located in Nova Scotia and that pre-approval is required for rebates over $15,000, data centre, water heating, and solar measures. The program landing page now includes comprehensive rebate guides and worksheets for all product categories, replacing the previous scattered PDF-only format.
