What is ERPP?

Emerging renewable projects face higher risks, costs and more regulatory issues than projects using established renewable energy sources.

This program mitigates the risk of emerging renewable power projects through federal government funding, allowing emerging renewables to play a larger role in Canada’s electricity supply mix.
The program will establish new industries in Canada by supporting renewable power technologies that are:

• already established at the commercial level abroad but not yet in Canada
• demonstrated in Canada but not yet deployed at utility scale

Further information regarding the ERPP

​Event Information

On February 7, 2018 Natural Resources Canada will be offering an information session on the Emerging Renewable Energy Power Program (ERPP). The information session will be geared towards providing an overview of the ERPP and offer stakeholders a chance to ask questions.

Eligibility

As space for the information session is limited, priority registration will be given to CanSIA and CanGEA members. Additionally, for most technologies (including geothermal), only projects with a net energy capacity of 4 MW will be considered (for some cases, projects with capacities of greater than 1 MW may be considered). 

Registration does not guarantee a seat; a confirmation email will be sent to those eligible for the information session.

You are invited to join Climeon for breakfast and an overview of:

• Why Heat Power and the sub category geothermal will be one of the top 3 renewable energy categories and why Climeon focuses so much on Alberta
• Low temperature geothermal examples​

​
Climeon is a Swedish cleantech equipment vendor and world leader in converting low temperature heat into clean electricity. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Stockholm with 50+ employees. Climeon was founded to deliver an economically viable business case when it came to converting low temperature heat into electricity. Climeon was built with the ambition to deliver a good business case and a positive environmental impact.
​
In comparison to ORC-systems, Climeon’s Heat Power system reaches a higher efficiency due to its unique low pressure technology and patented condensation solution, among other things. Due to the low pressure, the internal energy consumption can be decreased by 90 percent compared to traditional ORC systems. The result is a simpler solution that makes it economically viable to produce electricity from low temperature sources (below 120 °C).
