Commercial and Institutional Power Producer (CIPP) Program
No fixed amount
Grant
Description:
QEC’s Commercial and Institutional Power Producer (CIPP) program is designed to allow existing commercial and institutional customers (government departments, hamlets, businesses) to generate electricity using renewable energy systems and sell it to QEC. For example, local arenas or Co-op stores could install solar panels and generate clean power for their community.
Comments on Funding:
QEC will pay CIPP participants for their generated power at a rate equal to the corporation’s diesel savings. Currently, the avoided cost of diesel is 24.76 cents per kilowatt-hour and is based on a trailing three-year average of fuel cost. This rate will be reviewed and adjusted (if applicable) annually.
Continuous Intake
Eligibility:
Applicants must be existing commercial and institutional customers (government departments, hamlets, businesses)
Application Steps:
Applicants must email renewableenergy@qec.nu.ca for copies of the CIPP program forms. Those interested in the CIPP program must consult with QEC before purchasing renewable energy generation systems.
Documentation Needed:
Applicants must provide their proposed project’s energy source, capacity, and location and any other facility related data as requested by QEC, as well as identify the owner or representative of the establishment.
