Ontario Bolsters Commitment to Indigenous Communities with Increased Investment in Indigenous Energy Support Program
Ontario is significantly expanding its commitment to Indigenous communities through a $10 million increase to the Indigenous Energy Support Program (IESP), bringing the province's annual investment in the program to $25 million. The expanded initiative, part of Ontario's "Energy for Generations" plan, includes new funding streams and broadened eligibility criteria to support Indigenous communities in developing electricity transmission and generation infrastructure, aiming to provide cleaner, more affordable power and create economic opportunities through innovative energy projects and skills development.
