New Brunswick draws on nuclear, hydro, wind and fossil generation — and NB Power runs one of Atlantic Canada's most complete efficiency program suites for homeowners.
Approximate figures from public federal and provincial energy profiles — every home and utility territory differs, so treat these as the starting map, not the destination.
NB Power's net-metering program credits surplus renewable generation against your bill, with systems up to 100 kW eligible.
NB Power's Total Home program pays back insulation, air sealing, heating upgrades and even solar PV — start with the whole-home approach.
Southern New Brunswick's solar yield beats much of Europe; net metering plus retrofit incentives make rooftop PV increasingly common.
Mini-splits have swept the Maritimes for good reason: they cut oil and baseboard heating costs dramatically in NB's climate.
Federal programs apply everywhere and usually stack with local ones. Program terms change — confirm details on the official page before applying, and or search by your exact address to add municipal programs.
