Key Capability Area Funding |
Environment related objective
|
The Key Capability Area Funding supported the development of projects that make a major contribution to the development of the ACT's Key Capability Areas of cyber security, renewable energy, space and spatial information, plant and agricultural sciences, healthy and active living and further education partnerships.
A strong and sustainable economy is essential to meet the needs of the Canberra community now and into the future. It is essential for the ACT to grow its economy by diversifying the non-public service sector. The education and research sector, and the sector specialisations and growth building assets within it, have been identified as a primary driver of long term wealth creation and jobs in the ACT economy.
The Key Capability Area Funding is part of the Government's election commitment to "provide funding to boost the capabilities in the Territory's key areas of strength."
In Confident & Business Ready: Building on Our Strengths, the ACT Government also committed to an economic development focus in its relationship with the higher education and research sector. In particular, the Government undertook to work with the institutions to support ongoing development of areas of strength and to stimulate economic growth in the ACT's Key Capability Areas.

Priority Investment Program |
Environment related objective
|
The Priority Investment Program is a competitive funding program aimed at facilitating collaboration between the ACT Government, industry, research and tertiary education sectors to attract investment and grow priority sectors of Canberra's economy. (…)
The Program will target known priority sectors of cyber security, space, defence, renewable energy, agri-technology and education; areas where Canberra has known and established strengths. The Progam's design provides flexibility to enable the ACT Government to respond to other emerging investment opportunities that demonstrate strong potential, including from non-priority areas.

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.
