ecoENERGY for Renewable Power Program. |
|
Environment related objective
|
|
Launched on April 1, 2007, the objective of the program was to encourage the deployment of low-impact renewable power in Canada by providing a financial incentive for electricity generated from qualifying projects.
The program entered into contribution agreements for 104 projects by March 31, 2011, with a total allocated funding of approximately $1.4 billion. The program authority is the Clean Energy Agenda, a component of the 2006 Clean Air Act. The program spending was initiated under Department of Natural Resources Canada authorities in 2007.
The support is provided in the form of a 1 cent per kilowatt-hour incentive on the production of electricity from qualifying renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, biomass, and low-impact hydroelectricity.
