Grants and in-kind support to Ontario nonprofit and for-profits entities for utilities-related projects that benefit the community. Funding is intended to support projects initiated by educational institutions, public sector organizations, local distribution companies (LDCs), technology companies, consulting firms, and industry associations. Projects must present a significant opportunity for ratepayer savings, either directly by enabling customers to better manage their own electricity use, or indirectly by reducing the costs associated with maintaining a reliable electricity system. This includes projects seeking to increase competition for the provision of products and services in Ontario electricity markets.
In addition to delivering a specific outcome, projects must also directly address at least one of the following categories of action: Energy Efficiency, Demand Response, Load Reduction, Load Displacement, System Integration, or Conservation Behavior. Projects designed to pilot, and in some cases develop, innovative technologies, practices, services, research, and programs are welcomed.
Project types include: Programs, Tools, Training Programs, Community of Practice, Strategic Research, Emerging Technology Demonstration, and Strategic Opportunity.
In-kind contributions consist of auditable, substantiated non-cash contributions to the project that contribute substantially to the completion of the project. For example, contribution of staff time to install and commission submeters for a technology demonstration project.
