Pathway to Savings Pilot Program

What is Pathway to Savings?

Starting in early 2026, Calgary homeowners can apply to the Pathway to Savings (P2S) pilot program. Access rebates to create a comprehensive plan to:

  • Improve your home’s energy efficiency.
  • Identify a roadmap to net zero.
  • Reduce your bills with energy-saving home upgrades.

Step one: create a Pathway to Savings roadmap

P2S participants must first work with a qualified net zero energy advisor to create a P2S roadmap, which is a comprehensive plan to get your home to net zero energy. You will receive a rebate to offset most of the cost of your P2S roadmap.

How to choose a qualified net zero energy advisor?


Make sure your energy advisor is listed as a qualified Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) net zero energy advisor with a renovation credential.

What is a Pathway to Savings roadmap?


A P2S roadmap is a plan that you produce with the help of a qualified net zero energy advisor to get your home to net zero energy. This means your house would produce as much energy as it consumes within a year. This typically involves:

  1. A series of home upgrades that reduce your home’s energy use by at least a 50%.
  2. Energy generation, such as solar photovoltaic systems, to offset all energy consumption over the course of the year.  

Why do I need a Pathway to Savings roadmap?


Having a plan helps avoid piecemeal retrofits and provides a pathway that considers all of the home’s systems together.

Piecemeal retrofits address one-off concerns without addressing the home as a whole. Typically, these retrofits occur over time. Without an overall plan you risk the following:

  • Missing opportunities to improve airtightness.
  • Redoing work you’ve already completed.
  • Locking in inefficiencies.

This program aims to address piecemeal retrofits by requiring a P2S roadmap that you can follow and show your contractors.

Step two: apply for rebates

Once you have completed your Pathway to Savings roadmap, you can select the energy-saving home upgrades that you wish to install and apply for rebates.

Frequently asked questions

How to choose a contractor?


Review The City’s advice on hiring a contractor.

If you are completing a retrofit that is targeting the CHBA Net Zero Labelling Program, you will need to confirm the contractor requirements with the CHBA.

More guidance on choosing a contractor:

Can I access both the Pathway to Savings and the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)?


Yes. The application process is not combined, so you need to apply separately for each program. You can review the CEIP application process and timelines.

You are welcome to participate in Pathway to Savings alongside any other financing and incentive programs available to you.
