Municipal Energy Plan Program (MEP) │Government of Ontario

none

Value

Cover 50 per cent of eligible costs up to a maximum of $90,000 to create a new plan and $25,000 to continue work on an existing plan.

Description

Through the Municipal Energy Plan Program (MEP), you can get funding to develop a plan that will help your community:

  • improve energy efficiency
  • reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
  • study the impact of future growth on energy needs
  • foster renewable energy production and economic development
  • power your growing economy with clean energy

 

The program has two streams:

  • Stream 1: for municipalities who require funding to create a new plan
  • Stream 2: for municipalities who require funding to update a pre-existing complete or partial community energy plan or other energy plan.

Eligible Applicants

  • All Ontario municipalities, including upper-tier municipalities, are eligible to apply.
  • Lower-tier municipalities must submit a letter from their upper-tier municipality confirming their support for the project.

Eligible Expenses

We cover 50 per cent of eligible costs up to a maximum of:

  • $90,000 to create a new plan
  • $25,000 to continue work on an existing plan (e.g. update energy data or maps, engage stakeholders, or develop more detailed implementation plans)

 

The MEP Program provides matched funding for projects under Stream 1 and Stream 2. Applicants can either:

  • fund the project themselves
  • seek additional funding from other sources, including other levels of government and community stakeholders

Deadline Date

Applications to the program are accepted on an ongoing basis. Municipalities can apply at any time throughout the year.
