Millions in funding available for Indigenous energy projects

It was announced today by the Independent Electricity System Operator that up to $15 million will be available for Indigenous energy planning, infrastructure development and education.

"The Indigenous Energy Support Program is one part of this commitment, promoting Indigenous leadership in the sector while moving the needle on energy projects that will support the growth and decarbonization of Ontario’s electricity system,” said Carla Nell, IESO vice-president of Corporate Relations, Stakeholder Engagement and Innovation, in a news release.

The 2024 intake window for the Indigenous Energy Support Program is now open and runs until Aug. 30, 2024. Indigenous communities are eligible to apply for funding under one, or all, of the following streams: The Indigenous Energy Support Program is an important foundational step towards the longer-term goal of achieving fair, equitable and inclusive participation in the electricity sector. This is especially important as the pace of Ontario’s energy transformation accelerates and First Nations and Métis communities become partners that bring essential knowledge, experiences and perspectives to energy discussions.
