Indigenous Energy Support Program Funding

August 27, 2025

Thank you, Minister Stephen Lecce, for joining us today in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory along with PA David Smith to highlight Ontario’s increased support for Indigenous-led energy projects.

Ontario is boosting the Indigenous Energy Support Program by $10 million (a 66% increase) to $25 million annually. This funding will help communities lead local clean-energy projects, support diesel-reliant communities to transition off diesel, and create opportunities in emerging technologies like battery storage—strengthening local capacity, jobs, and a cleaner, more reliable grid.
