Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs

Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates.
The Northwest Territories Energy Board raised all rates by 20% for the year 2024.

Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Northwest Territories
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In Northwest Territories, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in Northwest Territories makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
Solar System Packages
All packages include professional installation, permits, and 25-year warranty.

Solar FAQs for Hay River Residents
Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Hay River.
The Arctic Energy Alliance (AEA) Renewable Energy Program offers $4.00/watt for solar, with residential rebates up to $20,000 and business/non-profit rebates up to $50,000. However, applications are currently closed until April 1, 2026.
Solar rebates are only available for off-grid buildings or communities that don’t use hydroelectricity. If you’re in a hydro community, you can still install solar using Northland Utilities or NWT Power Corporation net metering (up to 15 kW), but without AEA funding assistance.
Both Northland Utilities and NWT Power Corporation offer net metering for systems up to 15 kW. This allows residents in hydro communities to benefit from solar even without rebate eligibility.
Due to remote location and logistics, solar installation costs are higher in NWT than southern provinces. However, with rebates covering $4/watt (up to $20,000 residential), the effective cost is significantly reduced for eligible properties.
