We are developing Newmarket's Energy Efficiency Retrofit (NEER) Business Plan and need your help!
Are you interested in retrofitting your home to make it more energy efficient? How about a future Town-run program that will provide low-interest loans to finance these home energy projects?
Get involved and help us gather more information to develop our NEER Business Plan that will encompass these aspects so we can continue to help save energy, reduce greenhouse gas emission and meet our environmental targets set out in our Community Energy Plan.
This project will take place in two phases and will focus on general housing questions, renovation history and future intention, financing questions and more.
Phase 1: Random Telephone Survey by Deloitte (December 2022)
Participate for a chance to win 1 of five Nest Thermostats to help you manage your home energy use!
Feedback gathered from both surveys will be used to inform the NEER Business Plan, and the design of the program that will support residents in reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and co-benefits such as improving comfort, home value, and reduce energy costs. Survey closes on March 17, 2023

About Newmarket Energy Efficiency Retrofit (NEER) Business Case
The Community Energy Plan (approved in 2016) recommended establishing the NEER initiative to meet the CEP GHG reduction targets. In 2018, Newmarket started the feasibility study.. In September 2019, the Town completed and presented their findings in the form of a Business Case to Council. In June 2020, Council approved the NEER Business Case Final Report with direction to complete a detailed Business Plan.
In 2020, the Town of Newmarket applied for and received funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Community Efficiency Financing Program that will be used to fund the development of the detailed business plan. The Business Plan will outline how to secure a start-up capital for the NEER program implementation and finance homeowner retrofits in the community.
A Community Energy Plan (CEP) was adopted in 2016 and is an initiative developed by the municipality to reduce the community's net environmental impact. This will be achieved by introducing sustainable practices throughout a multitude of sectors including transportation, residential/non-residential and energy.
Newmarket's CEP is one of the first in Ontario. The Plan sets clear targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions with clear actions for achieving those results. Visit newmarket.ca/CEP for more information.
