The Saskatchewan Research Council is delivering this program on behalf of Go Green Saskatchewan and SaskPower Eneraction. Through their financial support, SRC is able to provide eligible recipients with a reimbursement fee, equivalent to up to 35 per cent of eligible costs (maximum eligible project costs are limited to $100,000 which would equate to a maximum payment of $35,000). Projects with generating capacities of 100kW or less that comply with the local utility's net metering policies and enter into net metering contracts with their local electric utilities are eligible for funding under this program. Participants in the program agree to give SRC access to their utility records for 18 months prior to and 10 years after installation of the approved generating equipment in order to qualify for payment.
Eligible costs may include:
Please note: only fees invoiced by third party contractors will be considered eligible costs.
The types of generating equipment currently included in this program are:
Before you get started
Your first step as a potential applicant should be to contact The Saskatchewan Research Council (Kelly Winder, 306-933-6431, winder@src.sk.ca) to discuss your project and the funds available. Please keep in mind that this is a first come, first serve program and once the funds are disbursed there is no guarantee that additional funds will be allocated to this program. However, due to the amount of interest to-date we are currently investigating a program extension with our funding partners.
Even if your project meets all the criteria, it can only receive support if the funds are available. Availability of funds is completely dependent on the number and scope of previous successful applicants.

Please contact the Saskatchewan Research Council if the generating technology you will be installing is not on this list.
