ENACT – Financing Navigator Tool

This tool makes it easier for you to see what non-repayable and other finance options available to you depending on the energy upgrade measures involved.  Once you have a feel for what may be required (based on an energy audit report), the tool will provide an overview of grants and other supports and finance options available, along with key information like grant amount, timeline and direct link to the specific grant.
