Apply for funding

The new IE Program creates a streamlined funding process for large industrial low-carbon electrification projects that require a new or upgraded connection to the BC Hydro Integrated Grid. IE leverages funding from both CIF and BC Hydro’s Low Carbon Electrification – Large Custom program. Application, evaluation and ongoing administration of projects under this program are integrated and administered jointly by CleanBC and BC Hydro. 

Two streamlined IE funding pathways are available:

1. Capital Projects - capital funding for large industrial low-carbon electrification projects
2. Interconnection Studies - funding for BC Hydro Transmission Connection Studies associated with eligible Capital Projects

Emissions Performance (EP) 

Open: April 2, 2024

Closing: May 30, 2024

The EP funding call supports projects that reduce emissions at an industrial operation using commercially available technologies.

Eligibility

Projects must reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in B.C. that are attributable to or associated with reporting operations, through the use of commercially available technologies that reduce emissions intensity.

For more information on the scope and eligibility requirements for EP applications, refer to section 3 of the Request for Proposals – CleanBC Industry Fund – Emissions Performance (PDF, 430KB).

Innovation Accelerator (IA)

• Projects must have the potential to reduce emissions in B.C. as a direct result of (a) the use of the project’s technology or process at the reporting operations associated with the project and/or (b) the commercial adoption of the project’s technology or process
• Projects must contribute to innovation through the development of new technologies or processes or through the innovative adaptation of an existing technology or process
• Project technologies or processes must have a path to commercial adoption if successfully proven viable
