Bring CEIP to Your Municipality
Partner with Deep Retrofit Capital to enable property-tax-backed clean energy improvements for your residents and businesses.
Why CEIP?
The Clean Energy Improvement Program is a proven mechanism for municipalities to enable building energy upgrades -- with zero exposure to public funds.
5 Steps to CEIP
From initial consideration to an active program, here is the path to bringing CEIP to your community.
Council Considers CEIP
Your council evaluates the Clean Energy Improvement Program, reviews fiscal impact, and determines community interest. CEIP borrowing is excluded from municipal debt limits under Bill 10.
Pass CEIP Bylaw
Council passes a CEIP bylaw under MGA Division 6.1 authority. DRC provides a model bylaw template and guidance throughout the drafting process.
Enter Administration Agreement
Your municipality enters an administration agreement with DRC. DRC provides full program administration; the municipality provides bylaw authority and property tax collection.
Program Launches
The eligible improvements list is published, the contractor directory opens, and property owners begin submitting applications. DRC manages all administration from intake to completion.
Ongoing Reporting
DRC delivers annual public reports by September 1, monitors KPIs including energy savings and property owner satisfaction, and maintains full transparency with your council.
