Strathcona County CEIP Open
Sherwood Park homeowners sit in one of Alberta's better solar markets right now. Strathcona County's CEIP is accepting applications, FortisAlberta handles net billing credits at retail rate, and newer subdivisions throughout the area offer excellent south-facing roof exposure.
Why Sherwood Park Is a Strong Solar Candidate
Sherwood Park is the urban service area within Strathcona County, just east of Edmonton. The county's CEIP program is currently open, offering 3.75% financing repaid through the property tax bill. Most homes in the area are on FortisAlberta's distribution network, which administers net billing at the full retail rate, currently around 18 cents per kWh all-in.
Subdivisions like Summerwood, Emerald Hills, and Mills Haven feature modern housing stock with open roof planes well suited for solar. A standard 8 kW system in this area produces approximately 10,200 kWh annually, saving a typical household $1,836 per year on electricity. With CEIP financing, monthly payments on that system often run below the monthly electricity savings from day one.

Applications for Strathcona County's CEIP are submitted through the ceip.abmunis.ca portal. The process requires a qualified solar proposal from an approved installer. Our team prepares CEIP-ready documentation and manages the application on your behalf. Approval typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
