NRCan Request for Proposals: Clean Energy Innovation

Natural Resources Canada invites you to submit a proposal to its Energy Innovation Program.

Proposals are being requested in the following strategic priority area (among others):

“Renewable, smart grid and storage systems can help reduce the economic, environmental, and health risks associated with air pollution and climate change.  With more than 80% of Canadians living in cities, urban environments are an area of key focus in achieving greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions.  Energy use can significantly be reduced at the community level and its renewable contents increased through the innovative integration of energy systems including: renewable energy sources for heat and/or power; smart grid technologies and energy storage; net zero housing; community energy planning; and, electric vehicle charging.”

You have until October 31, 2016 to submit a proposal.
