Greening the Diesel-Powered Industry in Newfoundland and Labrador

The Government of Canada announced $2.7 million in funding through the Green Industrial Facilities and Manufacturing Program (GIFMP) to support Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro. This funding aims to expand the takeCHARGE Isolated Communities Energy Efficiency Program (ICEEP) primarily for fish plants in isolated communities. The ICEEP program will lower electricity bills and reduce pollution from diesel-powered generation. Hydro’s takeCHARGE ICEEP program and participating businesses will also contribute $400,000 toward capital upgrades and energy audits for more efficient energy management.
