Emerging Renewable Power Program
The Emerging Renewable Power Program (ERPP) was launched this January, 2018. The Program provides up to $200 million to expand the portfolio of commercially viable renewable energy sources available to provinces and territories as they work to reduce GHG emissions from their electricity sectors.
The program will provide up front support for renewable power projects using technologies that have not yet been commercially established in Canada at the utility scale, such as geothermal, tidal, and offshore wind.
Until February 11, ERPP is accepting expression of interest submissions. Visit the program website for more information HERE.
News Release HERE.
If you have specific questions about this program contact ERPP:  nrcan.erpp-pner.rncan@canada.ca
