The Manitoba Green Energy Tax Credit content now reflects changes to the program scope and funding terms. The biomass equipment section remains and now states a 15% credit for business use in Manitoba, while the geothermal material and supporting details are no longer presented in the same way across the updated pages. Some eligibility language and related guidance have also shifted, including changes to the set of covered project types and the supporting worksheet or linked materials shown on the page. The program does not appear closed or archived, but the current presentation differs enough to warrant a fresh review of what equipment and expenses are still covered.
