Funding Opportunity – Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative

February 14, 2023

Maximum Funding Amount: 100% of eligible expenditures

Statement of Interest due: February 22

Natural Resources Canada’s Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative (DRAI) supports projects that facilitate the accelerated development of deep retrofit projects, providing funding for projects that include each of the following four elements:

• Identifying and/or aggregating deep retrofit projects.
• Guiding individual building owners in the process of developing and implementing specific deep retrofit projects. 
• Identifying available funding and financing for specific deep retrofit projects.
• Conducting capacity building activities, such as developing or implementing novel, standardized, or replicable approaches to deep retrofits.

For further details regarding eligible activities and expenses, please see NRCan’s DRAI Application Guide.

Note that this program does not fund retrofits themselves, and therefore capital expenditures associated with retrofits (e.g., equipment, materials, or construction) are not eligible measures or expenses.

If you are interested in applying to this program, please submit an SOI no later than February 22. If you have any questions, please contact Max Smith (max.smith@trca.ca) and/or Samuel Hale (samuel.hale@trca.ca).
