Property-tax-secured, audit-verified clean energy improvement financing
Deep Retrofit Capital operates a 100% private-capital model for financing clean energy improvements across Alberta. DRC deploys investor capital that is repaid through a property-tax-backed mechanism with robust security features.
Every CEIP agreement creates a lien registered on SPIN2 land titles. Repayment is collected through the municipal property tax system -- the same collection mechanism used for property taxes, providing high certainty of repayment.
Returns flow through municipal tax collection infrastructure. The CEIP tax obligation stays with the property, not the owner, meaning repayment continues even if the property is sold.
Authorized under Bill 10 (SA 2018, c 6) and Alberta Regulation 212/2018, CEIP operates under established legislation. Municipal borrowing for CEIP is excluded from municipal debt limits under the MGA, providing a clean legislative framework for capital deployment.
The Clean Energy Improvement Program is an established, growing market with strong regulatory foundations and proven demand.
Deep Retrofit Capital offers a differentiated investment opportunity with multiple layers of risk mitigation built into the program structure.
DRC requires ASHRAE-standard energy audits before and after every project. Pre-project Level 3 audits verify viability before capital is deployed. Post-project Level 2 audits verify actual energy savings one year after completion. This is unique to DRC and provides measurable, verifiable outcomes.
Repayment via municipal property tax collection provides high certainty of returns. The CEIP lien is registered on the property's land title through SPIN2, and the obligation transfers with the property on sale. Municipal tax collection is one of the most reliable revenue streams in public finance.
DRC is designated to serve all property types (residential, commercial, farm, non-designated industrial) across all Alberta jurisdictions. This provides geographic and asset-class diversification within a single program structure, reducing concentration risk.
