Albertans can save some money over the next few weeks if they buy energy efficient products.
The province has launched an instant savings program that will provide instant rebates for energy efficient products between April 28 and June 11.
Immediate rebates of up to $30 will be distributed for items like programmable thermostats, water-saving devices, smart power strips and heavy duty timers.
“Our government is helping Albertans save and making life more affordable. Energy efficiency is creating jobs and a new industry while putting money in Albertans’ pockets,” Minister Shannon Phillips said.

The incentives are part of Energy Efficiency Alberta’s Residential Retail Products Program.
On Friday, the province announced additional ways Albertans can save money: an online rebate for things like smart thermostats, high-efficiency washers and fridges.
To receive an online rebate of $75 or $100 on select appliances, people take a photo of their receipt and submit it to efficiencyalberta.ca. The government says a cheque will arrive in the mail six to eight weeks later.
“An efficient appliance can make a significant difference on each utility bill,” Phillips said. “This rebate gives Alberta families yet another way to save money and cut energy use.”
The online rebates are the third way people can take part in the Energy Efficiency Program, in addition to the instant rebates and the home improvement rebates.

“Since February, more than one million Albertans have viewed the Energy Efficiency Alberta website, showing how eager Albertans are to embrace energy efficiency in their communities. They know Energy Efficiency Alberta programs will reduce their energy bills and provide them the tools they need to save money,” Energy Efficiency Alberta CEO Monica Curtis said.
