Canada's energy security and economic strength depend on our ability to scale up clean, reliable and affordable power. That means advancing next-generation solutions like hydrogen, nuclear, renewables, geothermal and biofuels and integrating our electricity systems so that energy can move seamlessly and efficiently across provincial borders. We're getting more reliable clean energy to market, cutting emissions and delivering for Canadians.
To that end, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced today over $13 million in federal funding to support five clean energy projects in Ontario that will help modernize existing electricity systems.
Funded through the Energy Innovation Program - Smart Grids Demonstration Call for Proposals, these projects will advance clean electricity generation in Ontario, and allow customer-owned devices such as solar panels and batteries to access and benefit from electricity markets, by generating and selling energy. This will drive down energy costs for Canadians while ensuring our grids are smarter, more sustainable, more resilient and ready for the economy of the future.
