The church currently operates on the central heating system which heats much of downtown. Facilities at St. Paul’s stay open all week, with the church, hall and rectory all in continual use. P.E.I. has several electric heating rebates, but the church does not qualify for many due to its size and role in society.
“Our oil bill was getting up to four thousand dollars per month, and that was before the oil doubled,” Alexander MacKay, chair of trustees for the church, told SaltWire Network in a recent interview.For years, the church was not able to apply for rebates of more than $600, as churches are considered commercial spaces in P.E.I.
Through the current deal, the organization assists in paying two-thirds of the cost or a maximum of $30,000, said MacKay. In Nova Scotia, Windsor Baptist Church is currently in the process of installing 98 solar panels at its new facility.
