Energy efficiency program - Innovation
Innovation
For those of you who dare to innovate with new energy efficient solutions, Énergir has a grant that will help make your projects a reality.
Grant for new energy efficiency solutions
The Innovation Program aims to identify and develop energy innovations that make a more efficient use of natural gas, have good market potential, and save energy.
The program targets new technologies as well as new approaches to energy efficiency and helps participants to develop and demonstrate their solution.
Up to 75% of the costs covered
The grant can cover up to 75% of the costs incurred by a project, up to a maximum of $25,000 for an experimental project, and up to $250,000* for a demonstration project.
The program targets all markets. Projects for customers in the Residential, Commercial, Institutional, Industrial and Transportation markets are eligible for the program.

ESA, from the idea to the market
The start-up ESA had an idea: develop a new heat exchanger for heating poultry houses. Impressed by their innovation and the potential energy savings for our natural gas customers, Énergir awarded the project a grant as part of the Innovation Program.
