Natural Resources Canada (NRC) recently announced it will award more than $7 million in funding to Indigenous communities in B.C. to support their transition from fossil-fuel to biomass-based heating systems. The funding will be distributed through the NRC’s Clean Energy for Rural and Remote Communities program as part of a $175 million initiative to develop and deploy renewable energy projects to reduce the reliance of remote communities on diesel fuel while also providing a stable, local source of economic growth.
Communities that qualify for full funding under the program must contain at least 10 dwellings, fewer than 1,000 residents, and not be connected to the North American electrical grid or gas pipeline network.
