  • All the other commenters seem quite optimistic, although I still have reservations

    in my province (PEI) our government is doing a great job handing out heat pumps to pretty much anyone who asks. However I don’t see a sufficient investment in the supply side of this equation. Pretty much everyone I know who got a free heat pump is switching over from oil, meaning that the energy we were importing as oil is now being demanded from New Brunswick’s electrical grid. We do have solar incentives, (I think there’s a rebate + an interest free loan for sure), but maybe 1 in 8 of the people I know who installed heat pumps also installed solar.

    I know it can be done, but I’m concerned that PEI doesn’t have a cohesive plan to address the demand we’re inducing.
