Investments in energy-saving programs are essential to help industries and workers build a more prosperous and sustainable future. The Government of Canada is committed to innovative energy management solutions for industry partners across the country.
Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced a federal investment of nearly $20 million to the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) from the Green Industrial Facilities and Manufacturing Program (GIFMP). This funding will support the extension of IESO's Strategic Energy Management Program.
NRCan has invested in this initiative to help IESO support industrial facilities across four areas:
- Energy practitioners
- Energy managers
- Energy management systems
- Strategic energy management
Investments like these are key to reducing emissions, maximizing energy performance and increasing energy industry competitiveness in Canada.
