Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

AI ASSIST - Forecasting Alberta Electricity Prices for Battery Optimization

Agreement Number:

1024641

Duration: from Nov 1, 2024 to Apr 30, 2025
Description:

This project is to improve upon the performance of an innovative energy price forecasting algorithm that is uses machine learning and deep learning technology to predict the electricity power prices. This forecasting algorithm is fed into a trading algorithm that is able to optimize the performance of battery assets, with a specific focus on battery assets connected to solar assets. By improving the forecast, it will improve the optimization of the battery asset, as the asset will be able to better profit from the difference between price peaks and price troughs.
