As of February 12, 2026, the HIF 2025 Call is closed and not accepting submissions.
Project Package Requirements
Interested applicants can submit a completed application package for Stream 1 or Stream 2 with the bulleted items listed below, along with any other requested supporting documents (e.g., letters of support, financial statements, project team CVs etc.) to the Hydrogen Innovation Fund (HIF).
Prior to completion of the documents, please review the applicable Project Application Guideline for detailed requirements and the HIF Contribution Agreement Template.
* Prior to submitting a Project Proposal Template for funding under the Hydrogen Innovation Fund, applicants must review and ensure they understand the terms and conditions contained in the Hydrogen Innovation Fund Contribution Agreement. The IESO will not be able to accommodate applicants’ requests for changes to the terms and conditions. The IESO may make amendments to its templates from time to time, at the IESO’s sole discretion. Successful applicants will be required to enter into a Hydrogen Innovation Fund Agreement, which will be the final, binding agreement that governs the relationship between the parties, which will not be affected by any changes to the templates that are not reflected in the final binding agreement. The final agreement may contain additional terms, conditions and/or schedules, as required by the IESO, including those required as a result of the nature of the project that is the subject of the application.
Submission Process
Applications must be submitted via email to Hydrogen Innovation Fund between November 4, 2025, and February 11, 2026, with “Hydrogen Innovation Fund Application” in the subject line. Applications will not be accepted after 11:59 p.m. on February 11, 2026.
