Participate in NB Power’s New Home Energy Savings Program and make sure that savings and comfort are built into your home. 
Participation in the New Home Energy Savings Program ensures you are building efficiency into your new home right from the start. Home builders or people having their home built for them can register for the program.
It’s simple to get started
Complete the online registration before you apply for a building permit. This ensures efficiency upgrades are included in your plans well before construction begins.
When you participate in the New Home Energy Savings Program, you’ll save money on your upgrades and enjoy savings on your energy bill for many years. Plus, you’ll receive an EnerGuide Label. Building with efficiency in mind can help you qualify for mortgage insurance refund programs. The energy-saving measures you perform could help you get 25% back on your mortgage insurance premiums through Canada Mortgage and Housing, Sagem™ or Canada Guaranty.
