Manitoba Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit (purchaser and manufacturer)

If you’re a resident of Manitoba and either purchased and installed or manufactured geothermal heat pump systems, solar thermal heating equipment, or biomass fuel energy equipment, you might be able to claim the Manitoba green energy equipment tax credit.

The green energy equipment that qualifies for this tax credit includes:

  • Geothermal ground source heating systems that’re mainly used for heating an actively circulated liquid or gas and is part of a ground source heat pump system that meets the standards set by the Canadian Standards Association.
  • Solar heating equipment that’s used for heating liquid or gas such as solar collectors, solar energy conversion equipment, solar water heaters, energy storage equipment, control equipment, and equipment that interfaces solar heating equipment with other heating equipment.
  • Equipment that’s used for co-generation of energy using biomass fuel.

All green energy equipment must be new; reconditioned or re-manufactured equipment doesn’t qualify for this tax credit. Refer to Manitoba government’s website for more information on what equipment qualifies for this tax credit, and to learn whether you should claim this credit as a purchaser (property-owner) or a manufacturer.
