Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), with Government of Alberta and NRCan Waitlist only
AmountAssessments/audits up to $50,000; EMIS $50,000–$250,000 (by consumption); SEM training up to $100,000; capital retrofits up to $1,000,000 per facility, generally 50% of eligible costs for for-profits
DeadlineNone stated on the source page
A $70M program for Alberta industrial/manufacturing facilities covering energy assessments and audits, Energy Management Information Systems (monitoring), strategic energy management training and capital retrofits.
Status note: Re-verified 2026-08-25: unchanged, "UPDATE: WAITLISTS OPEN FOR ALL ACTIVITIES". Energy Assessments and Audits, EMIS, Strategic Energy Management and Capital Retrofits are all waitlist-only, and SEM is explicitly closed to new applications. Funding is limited and not guaranteed; the program runs to March 31, 2027 or until funds are allocated.

Natural Resources Canada / Canada Revenue Agency Always open
AmountClass 43.1: eligible equipment written off at 30 percent per year on a declining balance basis. Class 43.2: 50 percent per year, for equipment acquired after February 22, 2005 and before 2025. Enhanced first-year allowance: a 100 percent deduction, in phase-out for property available for use after 2023.
DeadlineNone stated on the source page
Accelerated depreciation for equipment that generates energy from renewables or waste fuels, or that conserves energy by using fuel more efficiently; the energy-conservation limb being the one that matters for factory retrofits. Canadian Renewable and Conservation Expense lets certain development and start-up costs be deducted in full in the year incurred.
Status note: Timing: Class 43.2 (the 50% rate) applies only to equipment "acquired after February 22, 2005, and before 2025", so for a 2026 purchase the live class is 43.1 at 30 percent. The enhanced first-year allowance covers property acquired after November 20, 2018 and available for use before 2028 and is already in phase-out. Not an application-based program, claimed on the tax return, so no intake risk. NRCan's own page notes the overlap with the Clean Technology ITC. The Technical Guide linked from the page is the 2019 edition; the "Class 43.1, Class 43.2 and CRCE News" section carries anything later. Ask your accountant whether your metering or monitoring equipment qualifies.

Canada Revenue Agency (with Natural Resources Canada technical guidance) · Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits Always open
AmountUp to 30% of the capital cost of clean technology property acquired and available for use from March 28, 2023 to December 31, 2033; up to 15% for property available for use in 2034. The credit is refundable.
DeadlineNone stated on the source page
A refundable federal tax credit on the capital cost of new clean technology property, claimed on the corporate return. For a factory the relevant categories are air-source and ground-source heat pumps, active solar heating, fixed-location electrical energy storage, and on-site solar, wind or water generation.
Status note: The CRA states: "The Clean Technology ITC is a refundable tax credit for capital invested in the adoption and operation of new clean technology property in Canada from March 28, 2023, to December 31, 2034." 30% through 2033, 15% in 2034, unavailable after 2034. A reduced rate applies unless the employer elects to meet the federal labour requirements. Cannot be stacked with the CCUS ITC on the same property, though different Clean Economy ITCs can apply to different property in one project. Like OMMITC, this is claimed on a return with no application window and therefore no intake risk. Finance Canada opened consultations on a possible domestic-content requirement in February 2026, worth watching. Ask your accountant whether your equipment qualifies.

IESO (Independent Electricity System Operator), Ontario Intake open · Deadline 2027-06-15
AmountNot a grant; a change in how global adjustment is billed. A Class A customer's global adjustment is set by its share of Ontario's five highest system demand hours in the 12-month base period, so the saving is a function of how far peak demand is cut, not a published figure.
DeadlineDeadline 2027-06-15
Ontario's peak-shaving mechanism: eligible large electricity customers elect into Class A and are billed global adjustment on their contribution to the province's five peak demand hours over a May-to-April base period, instead of on total consumption. Managing the bill means predicting and curtailing on those five hours.
Status note: This program changes how global adjustment is billed. Interval metering and peak prediction help facilities manage demand. Election is ANNUAL and the window is narrow: eligible customers opt in (or, above 5 MW, opt out) by JUNE 15 for the base period that runs May 1 to April 30. The June 15, 2026 election for the 2026-27 base period has passed; the recorded deadline is the NEXT election, June 15, 2027. Existing Class A facilities keep their status unless the customer opts out. Governed by Ontario Regulation 429/04. The election date comes round every June.

Tariff-response capital funding: equipment and machinery, facilities and infrastructure, capacity expansion and reshoring for Ontario businesses hit by U.S. trade disruption. Continuous intake rather than fixed windows.
Status note: The page states "The intake period is continuous which means applicants can submit their application any time while the program is open", but it was last updated December 10, 2025 and carries no statement confirming it is still open in August 2026, and the fund closes when its budget is exhausted. Budget was $50 million over three years from 2025-26, increased by a further $100 million in November 2025 to $150 million. Confirm current availability with the provider before planning an application. The tariff-sector test is the real filter: this is a fit for a metal fab or auto supplier, not for a general manufacturer. The usual funding range is 10–20%; 75% applies only in exceptional cases.

Runs only in Toronto and Ottawa, to relieve local electricity system constraints.
Status note: Verified open 2026-08-25. Check the cost coverage and eligible locations. (1) The discount is "Specified $/unit, up to 100% of eligible costs (incl. installation)"; a per-unit figure capped at 100%, NOT a guaranteed 100%: "There may be some costs that are not covered by the BizEnergySaver Program (e.g., additional wiring, by-pass for VFD, certain TSSA costs, etc.)." (2) It is the CITY OF TORONTO, not the GTA, "As of July 23, 2026, the program has expanded to all of Toronto. All postal codes beginning with 'M' are now eligible", so Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Pickering and the rest of the "L" postal codes are outside it. August 31, 2027 is an INSTALLATION-COMPLETION deadline ("eligible installations in Ottawa and Toronto must be completed by August 31, 2027"), not an application deadline, so the practical booking window closes earlier.

DeadlineDeadline 2027-12-31
A pay-for-performance program that pays for whole-facility electricity savings measured against a modelled baseline, rather than for a named piece of equipment, so operational and behavioural changes earn money alongside capital projects. Entry requires twelve months of hourly interval meter data per facility.

The approval deadline is: "Three years of annual pay-for-performance incentives are available for applications approved by December 31, 2027"; note it is the APPROVAL date that must fall inside the window, so applications need to go in materially earlier. The entry requirement is twelve months of hourly interval data: a factory without it cannot apply, and the program's own portal then does baseline modelling and ongoing facility performance monitoring.

DeadlineNone stated on the source page
The IESO's large-scale electricity efficiency program for industrial process work; it cost-shares the feasibility study first, then pays on verified savings. Because incentives are paid against measured results, a baseline measurement and an M&V plan are required at application, before anything on the system is changed.
Status note: Launched 20 November 2025 and confirmed open by the IESO's own launch notice: "Save on Energy's XLerate Program is now open and taking applications." It replaces the previous Save on Energy Industrial Energy Efficiency Program (IEEP). The $450/MWh grid-constrained rate is stated in the IESO launch notice (ieso.ca), not on the program page; the program page states only $300/MWh. Confirm the applicable rate with the provider. The program page publishes no intake window or deadline. Projects must be completed within five years of the Participant Agreement execution date, and participants must achieve at least 50% of anticipated savings to earn the incentive. The program requires baseline measurements: "Baseline measurement is still required prior to making any changes to the system to create the M&V plan at the application stage."
