November 9, 2023
On November 7, the Honourable Todd Smith, Ontario Minister of Energy, announced an increase of funding by $5 million dollars a year for the IESO’s Indigenous Energy Support Programs. That brings the total annual investment to $15 million dollars.
This increase in funding will support Indigenous communities and organizations – including the 93 recipients that will benefit from funding this year - by helping to ensure that Indigenous communities are equipped to leverage opportunities in the electricity sector that can create significant, long-term economic benefits.
