The government has also added a ten percent incentive to its net metering program for residents who want to power their homes using green sources like wind or solar.
"This announcement places Saskatchewan at the forefront in progressive policy on renewable green energy," says David Anderson, Alternative Energy Engineer, Solar Outpost Inc. "The loan and rebate program will make it economically viable for residents to switch to clean energy, and that's great news for the environment and for people seeking cost effective, energy efficient alternatives."

His company is in the midst of installing eight geothermal units in a schoolhouse that has recently been converted into a 20,000 square foot home. The geothermal technology will be powered by a 40 kilowatt wind turbine.
