Indigenous Community Energy Plan Program

What is the Indigenous Community Energy Plan Program?

The Indigenous Community Energy Plan (ICEP) Program supports First Nation and Métis communities and organizations to develop and maintain an updated community energy plan designed to enhance community energy security.

A Community Energy Plan helps to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption at the community level. It also helps communities consider opportunities for renewable energy solutions, and can promote a greater interest, awareness and understanding about energy planning.

This program can support:

• development of new community energy plans
• updating existing community energy plans
