NB Power CEO tells government it needs help meeting the demand for the free heat pump and insulation program
NB Power needs another $150 million just to clear the waitlist of lower-income households in the province seeking insulation and heat pumps as part of a free program.
But it will take more money from either the provincial or federal governments, and more contractors installing the services, to meet the demand, she warned. On average, Clark said, customers who have been through the program will save $460 a year, slashing their heating bill by nearly one-quarter. When the Liberal critic asked if the waiting list was being caused by a lack of contractors or insufficient funds, Clark said, “a little bit of both.”
