Expression of Interest

Merit Based Program - Low Carbon Economy Fund (LCEF)

The Merit Based program is intended to support building and process improvements that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and use of fossil fuels. This program will not fund projects that qualify for or are already supported by Efficiency Manitoba, nor will it fund transportation projects such as zero emission vehicles or charging infrastructure. Grant applications must be approved before January 30, 2024 to be considered for eligibility. Expressions of Interest will be reviewed on an as received basis and those that appear eligible for funding will be requested to complete a more detailed application. Applicants may apply for more than one project using individual Expression of Interest forms.

Applicants are encouraged to apply early to ensure funding availability – once available funding has been distributed, the fund will close.

Summary and Description

Project Title

Organization type and maximum % eligible funding incentive of your total project: What best describes your Manitoba organization (below) Indigenous recipient, including Indigenous for-profit organizations (75%) Provincial Government and/or entity i.e. School, Crown Corporation, Health Authority (50%) Municipality and/or municipal entity, regional or local government and/or their entity (40%) Incorporated not-for-profit organization, operating primarily in Manitoba (40%) Manitoba for-profit organization (35%)

Which one of the following categories: Industrial operations Commercial businesses Agricultural business operations Other

Other category names

How will your project reduce greenhouse gas emissions? (You may choose multiple): Fuel-switching to lower GHG emissions (e.g., switching from fossil fuels like propane, heating oil, natural gas, or diesel to grid-supplied electricity or biomass); Energy efficiency upgrades (excluding natural gas and grid supplied electricity applications); Landfill gas capture and use; Self-generated clean energy to offset the need for fossil fuels (e.g.) ground source heat pump systems; Other

Explain for Other:

Projects that are qualified under the natural gas and electricity efficiency programming of Efficiency Manitoba will not be eligible in the Merit-based program. Projects that fuel switch from natural gas to a non-fossil fuel source like biomass or grid supplied electricity may be eligible. Please contact Efficiency Manitoba for natural gas and electricity efficiency programming.

Which fossil fuel(s) will your project reduce or eliminate: Propane Heating oil Bunker C fuels Other
